The selling of timeshares is outside of Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulation and therefore outside of the remit of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), which can only consider complaints about FCA regulated activities. Where consumers have purchased a timeshare using a product regulated by the FCA, such as consumer credit, they may have recourse to the FOS if that product was mis-sold.<\/p>
When complaints are made to the FOS, these should be dealt with in a timely manner. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Handbook, which sets out the rules on how the FOS should handle complaints, states that \u2018the ombudsman will attempt to resolve complaints at the earliest possible stage\u2019.\u202f\u202fIn its Plans and Budget 2024-25, the FOS has set itself the target of resolving 90 per cent of cases within 6 months and the government will continue to hold the FOS to account on this through its regular engagement with the FOS.<\/p>"}

The tax gap is the difference between the amount of tax that should, in theory, be paid to HMRC, and the amount that is actually paid. In 2005-06 the tax gap was estimated to be 7.4% (£32.4bn). The latest estimates, published in June 2024, show the tax gap at 4.8% (£39.8bn) in 2022-23.<\/p>
The government is committed to tackling the tax gap, through increasing HMRC's compliance staff, investing in HMRC\u2019s technology infrastructure, and making policy changes to tackle tax non-compliance. The government will set out further details at the budget.<\/p>"}
