General Anti-Abuse Rule Advisory Panel

The General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) panel are looking to recruit three additional panel members.  

The GAAR Panel members play a key role in ensuring both the GAAR legislation and the enablers of defeated tax avoidance schemes (Enablers) legislation operate in an effective and balanced manner. In addition to providing opinions on referred GAAR and Enablers cases, the GAAR Panel considers and approves HMRC Guidance on the GAAR. The role would suit individuals with a clear passion for Tax Law, along with a strong belief in wanting to use their expertise to ‘give something back’ to protect UK public services. A balance of skills and experience across the GAAR Panel members is desirable, and they encourage applications from candidates with expertise in any of the taxes covered by the GAAR legislation, in particular Employee Tax or Stamp Duty Land Tax.
