What did the UK government set up in 2010?

In 2010, the UK government established the Office for Tax Simplification (OTS) with the aim of making the UK tax system simpler and easier to understand. The OTS provides advice to the government on complex tax issues and works to identify opportunities to reduce complexity in the system. It focuses on making tax simpler for the majority of taxpayers to understand, rather than reducing the overall tax burden. It does not have the power to implement any changes — it is up to the government to decide whether any recommendations should be implemented.
