HM Revenue and Customs have decided to remove their Tactical and Information Packages (TIPs) from their website. TIPs are HMRC’s own detailed guides to the economics of a range of businesses, and are essential reading for those acting for any of the trades and professions featured. By June 2007 published TIPs were as follows:

  • Bookmakers
  • Construction industry
  • Field Sports
  • Licenced trades
  • Estate agents
  • Franchises
  • Waste Disposal and Landfill sites

A note on HMRC’s website says:
"Following a review of our publication policy a decision has been made to withdraw the current Tactical & Information Packages from the HMRC website."

HMRC has not withdrawn its Business Ecconomic Notes (BENS), although these are all somewhat dated.
Business Economic Notes published to-date cover the following:

1. Travel Agents
2. Road Haulage
3. Lodging Industry
4. Hairdressers
5. Waste Materials Reclamation and Disposal
6. Funeral Directors
7. Dentists
8. Florists
9. Licensed Victuallers
10. Jewellery Trade
11. Electrical Retailers
12. Antique and Fine Art Dealers
13. Fish and Chip Shops
14. The Pet Industry
15. Veterinary Surgeons
16. Catering - General
17. Catering - Restaurants
18. Catering - Fast Foods, Cafes and Snack Bars
19. Farming - Stock Valuation for Income Tax Purposes
20. Insurance Brokers & Agents
21. Residential Rest & Nursing Homes
22. Dispensing Chemists
23. Driving Instructors
24. Independent Fishmongers
25. Taxicabs and Private Hire Vehicles
26. Confectioners, Tobacconists and Newsagents

Some TIPS can still be found on Internet archives

The real reason?
Perhaps HMRC considered that the TIPs were giving taxpayers information that would help them during Enquiries and Investigations. How pathetic!.
