Key Aims

The key aims of the Working Together Steering Group are to:

• provide leadership and a clear focus for Working Together;
• focus on issues where our procedures and our services affect tax advisers and their clients;
• deal with new issues of national importance as and when they arise;
• agree the key priorities;
• check on the progress being made on the key priorities;
• receive information on reviews or projects that different parts of HMRC carry out; and
• make sure that agents' views are passed to consultation groups.

The ATT Steering Group Representative is Jean Jesty.
