Mutual Assistance Recovery Directive
The UK will implement the Mutual Assistance Recovery Directive agreed by EU Finance Ministers during 2010. Under this Directive, which covers all national taxes and duties, local taxes and motor taxes, EU member states can provide each other with assistance in the recovery of tax debts and duties, which includes service of documents and exchanging information in connection with the recovery of claims.
Legislation will be included in Finance Act 2011 and will come into force on 1 January 2012 when the Directive becomes fully applicable.
