Further guidance:
-You should construct your framework by referring to, and critically discussing, the work of others. Your essay should make clear what you believe the role and purpose of tax to be.
– You can use diagrams and charts if you believe these will help to illustrate your framework
– Do not include specific reform proposals in your answer(e.g.,abolishing corporation tax; simplifying income tax). The purpose of the essay is to build a framework that you can use to analyse the UK tax system and make reform proposals for future purposes. The essay is about building an analytical framework.
-Materials and sources from outside of the United Kingdom are useful but remember that your framework should be written with the position of the United Kingdom in mind.
-Your choice of structure is important. Some structures may be better than others if, for example, they help you avoid repetition or they help you to better explain the choices you have made in designing your framework.
-You can write your essay using “I”.
