The Cabinet Office has published a slightly revised version of the UK government’s procurement policy note, with measures to promote tax compliance. The note provides guidance on the government’s policy on the use of the procurement process to promote tax compliance whereby suppliers bidding for government contracts with a value of £5 million or more must self-certify their tax compliance. There are only minor changes to the version previously published in July 2013; however the document remains an important guide for companies potentially involved in transactions with the UK government.
