As I mentioned recently, I made submissions to the Treasury Committee of the House of Commons on tax avoidance and tax easvion and separately on the VAT tax gap on 31 May.
The tax avoidance and evasion submission is now to be found here.
The evidence on the VAT gap appears not to have been published as yet.
It appears that I am the only UK academic to submit evidence on tax avoidance and evasion to this inquiry.
I will feature some aspects of my submission in other blog posts in due course.
Thanks for reading this post.

This is great pomtificating. It’s quite lengthy so I hope the committee will have a detailed read and understanding. Will you present it to them?
That’s a substantial piece of work, Mr Murphy. Phew !
I wonder if anybody on the commission has actually read it all the way through.
I haven’t. Yet. But I intend to work my way through it.
Enjoy!
So far so good.

The project is expected to inform decision makers
The paper was intended to inform decision makers
I think the answer is yes if that is how you wish to define lobbying
