HMRC is to recruit more than 50 digital specialists to a new Digital Centre in the North East of England. The ‘digital by default’ service standard will ‘make tax simpler, clearer and faster for users, and bring new skills and ways of working into HMRC’, said Mike Bracken, the government’s executive director of digital. ‘The department’s exemplar digital services will go live by 2014, and Government Digital Service will be working closely with HMRC to develop its digital talent in the North East and throughout the UK.’

Mark Dearnley, HMRC’s chief digital and information officer, said the recruitment drive was ‘the first step on our journey to offer a digital service that allows our customers to service their own needs online and reduces the dependence on paper services’.
