<p>In developing proposals at fiscal events, including previous and forthcoming events,
such as the Autumn Statement planned for 17 November, the Treasury takes care to ensure
compliance with legal requirements under the Public Sector Equality Duty in the Equality
Act 2010 to consider the impact of its decisions on those sharing protected characteristics.</p><p>This
is in line with both our legal obligations to pay “due regard” to equality impacts,
and with our strong commitment to promoting fairness.</p><p>In the interests of transparency,
HMRC publishes a summary of equality impacts for tax measures within the Tax Information
and Impact Notes alongside the associated legislation.</p>
