<p>The process for updating guidance on the taxation of individuals and businesses
on the Government website (GOV.UK) is the same. Specialist content designers from
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Government Digital Services (GDS) work with HMRC’s
policy, technical and operational specialists to take the technical and policy intent
and present it as guidance that meets the needs of GOV.UK users.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC
own the factual accuracy of all of their guidance and can update independently, without
consulting GDS, the vast majority of their guidance on GOV.UK.</p><p> </p><p>A small
proportion of HMRC’s guidance on GOV.UK is administered by GDS directly. This is generally
the most commonly used guidance, designed for members of the public (or small to medium-sized
businesses) who may have little or no experience on a given topic. GDS follow strict
guidelines to make sure that Government information is consistent across departments,
accessible and understandable to all. GDS own the words and user experience of the
guidance they directly administer and HMRC own and assure the factual accuracy.</p><p>
