HMRC is the UK's tax payments and customs authority and is one of the largest organisations in the UK with the biggest digital operation in Government. We have a vital purpose: collecting the money that pays for our public services and help families and individuals with targeted financial support.

  • continued funding to tackle tax avoidance, evasion, and other forms of non-compliance, which has helped secure and protect over 200 billion of tax revenue since 2010
  • continued funding to support our programme to transform tax administration and deliver sustainable efficiency savings. This will continue the successful rollout and operation of Making Tax Digital, increase the uptake of our digital services, maintain our IT infrastructure, and consolidate our HMRC estate into 13 large, modern regional centres by 2023.
