Meet the General Council

What our members say

We have joined BASDA because we want to formally engage with HMRC (as part of a body rather than as an individual company) on the application of new legislation in the Temporary labour market. Too often legislation is drafted without properly considering the practical implications and this creates complexity, difficulty and, in many cases, tax loopholes. Our intention is to embrace HMRC’s initiatives and make implementation simpler for the users of our software.

Joining an association like BASDA provides opportunities to network and share information and resources. Leveraging the direct connection BASDA has with HMRC along with at-the-minute updates, blog resources, Specialist Interest Groups as well as access to industry knowledge and trends we believe will add value to our business. This through stimulating innovation and growth and ultimately improving our product and service delivery to our customers.

Keeping ahead of legislation and it’s interpretation is a significant challenge for all software vendors. BASDA enables us to have influence on legislation as it emerges, with engagement at the highest level. We also have the benefit of being able to work collectively with other BASDA members on interpretation of regulation – which saves us many days per year.
