The government has consulted extensively since 2016 on Making Tax Digital. This included an initial 13 week consultation in the second half of 2016 on the core design of Making Tax Digital for VAT, followed by a consultation on an overview of the proposed VAT regulations between September and November 2017. A third period of technical consultation on the draft regulations was launched in December 2017. The consultation will run for 8 weeks.<\/p>
<\/p>
HM Revenue and Customs has engaged proactively with stakeholders to raise awareness of the consultations. The draft regulations take into account representations from stakeholders following the previous consultation.<\/p>

Responses to the consultation on transposing EU Fourth EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive into UK law generally supported the Government\u2019s proposed approach to the new registration system.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since its implementation, HMRC have supported users of the Trust Registration Service (TRS) through newsletters, webinars, guidance, a dedicated helpline and meetings with professional and tax representative bodies. HMRC have enabled registration where agents do not have all the data required by law but have made all reasonable efforts to find it, and have also extended the registration deadlines from 5 October 2017 and 31 January 2018 to 5 January 2018 and 5 March 2018, respectively.<\/p>
<\/p>
The TRS will allow HMRC to collect, hold, retrieve and share information with Law Enforcement Authorities to help identify and disrupt suspicious activity involving the misuse of trusts for money laundering or terrorist financing.<\/p>"}
