What is Cross tax?

You'd be forgiven if you've never heard of 'cross tax' although it's been referenced in HMRC's compliance handbook for many years.

Does it mean: 

a) What you get when HMRC staff are overstressed and unhappy? 

b) A big balancing payment that a client wasn't expecting to have to pay? 

c) How clients will describe the additional fees accountants charge for quarterly MTD returns? or 

d) 'Across the taxes’ as opposed to applying to just one area, such as corporation tax? 


The correct answer is (d)
