The Office of Tax Simplification (OTS)

The Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) is a UK government body established to review the country's tax system and recommend ways to make it easier to understand and comply with. Its goal is to reduce unnecessary complexity, so taxpayers—whether individuals or businesses—can navigate tax rules more efficiently. The OTS conducts research, consults with stakeholders, and suggests practical reforms to improve clarity, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance the fairness of the tax system. Overall, it aims to balance effective taxation with simplicity, making the system more accessible and less burdensome for everyone.
