Introduction Background Consultation
13.The work produced by the project has been subject to public consultation. This has allowed all interested parties an opportunity to comment on draft clauses.
14.Consultation took the form of a series of papers presenting clauses in draft and documents containing responses to comments received. These were published between September 2007 and October 2009. A draft Bill was published for consultation in March 2009. All these documents are available on the Tax Law Rewrite website.
15.In addition to this consultation the project also presented its papers to the Consultative and Steering Committees to inform them and to seek their views on particular issues. The project also consulted on an informal basis with specialists in particular subject areas.
16.Those who responded in writing to one or more of the papers or to the draft Bill include:
