The Professional Contractors Group (PCG), which represents the UK’s freelancers, has called for an independent review of business tax in the UK.

PCG is urging that once the review is conducted and reforms made, government should guarantee a period of stability in the tax system.

John Brazier, PCG’s managing director, said: “Our new position paper represents a significant contribution to the debate around taxation in the UK. In it, we identify where the problems are and some of the solutions; but what we really want to see is an independent review deciding the exact shape of new reforms in a genuinely consultative manner.”
