BUFDG last instigated research on university tax teams and challenges in 2018, when 70 individual Higher Education Providers (HEPs) shared their valuable insights. This survey was refreshed for 2023/24, with 65 HEPs responding to questions on current tax resources, software in use, preferred advisers, partial exemption methodology, overseas tax aspects, HMRC contact and relationship, and biggest tax issues.
We also carried out a tax salaries and resources survey in September 2023 and the results have now been combined, with the additional resource benchmarking content located in Section 10 of the report, which can be found here.
