Revenue and Customs: Remote Working

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the PCS press release entitled Valuation Office withdraws HVCTS Office Attendance communication, published on 24 August 2026, for what reason HMRC withdrew the Office Attendance communication; and what is the current office attendance expectation.

Answer

In line with HMRC’s hybrid working policy, employees are expected to spend 60% of their working time in the office.
