  • The consultation is seeking to understand the potential tax impacts of recent high court judgments on the PHV sector.
  • The consultation invites views on government interventions that could mitigate adverse effects of these judgments.
  • Timing: the consultation closed on 8 August 2024. At the Autumn Budget 2024, the government stated that it was considering responses to the consultation and will respond in due course.
