MPs today launched an inquiry into the administration and effectiveness of HMRC, following the recent PAYE controversy, the controversial National Audit Office report on how the taxman engages with agents, and the government spending review that will see the Revenue trim 15% from its resources budget.
The Treasury sub-committee is inviting view on a number of points:
- HMRC’s performance as an organisation and its success in reaching key aims;
- the implications of the department’s spending review settlement;
- its success in achieving the Government’s aims on tax compliance;
- the necessity of PAYE reform; and
- the taxman’s priorities for the future.
Submissions should be made via email in Word or rich text format. Each message should include a contact name, telephone number and postal address and be delivered no later than noon on Wednesday 17 November.
The chairman of the Treasury sub-committee, George Mudie, said, ‘HMRC were criticised heavily over the end-of-year reconciliations. Like most government departments, the Revenue will have to make sizable cuts in administration.
‘We will examine how it is doing its job, whether it can do it better, and what the future holds following the spending review settlement.’
