Revenue and Customs

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what his Department's regional location strategy for HM Revenue and Customs offices is up to 2020.

Answer

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is reshaping to become a smaller, more highly skilled organisation to meet the efficiencies required by the Spending Reviews, 2010 and 2013.

Its strategic intention is to move to fewer, larger regional centres, supplemented by other offices to provide specialist resources or touch down facilities for mobile staff. HMRC is considering what the offices of the future will look like and where they will be located. It is currently involving all staff in a national conversation on progress and expects more detail to be available at the end of 2015.

In 2012 HMRC gave a commitment to retaining a presence in 16 key centres until at least 2020.
