Taxation Committee

Objectives

The Taxation Committee represents the interests of members of the private equity and venture capital industry in taxation matters.

Building dialogue with the Treasury, HMRC, other Government departments and other policy influencers to ensure that the industry is represented in any changes to taxation policy that could affect it.

The BVCA Governance Handbook provides directors, members and employees of the BVCA with a summary of our governance structure. This includes information on how our Council, Committees and Advisory Groups are constituted and is supplementary to the Articles of Association.

 

Activities

  • Maintaining dialogue with HM Revenue and Customs, HM Treasury, Government ministers and officials to ensure members’ interests are reflected in any changes made to tax policy
  • Responding to relevant Government consultations and reviews of issues affecting the industry
  • Working with other representative bodies in the UK and internationally to ensure members have a voice in developing tax policy
  • Working with the Government to improve the competitiveness of the UK as a location for the industry
  • Informing members and other stakeholders about the UK tax regimes applying to the industry and relevant developments
