MPs have launched an inquiry into HMRC’s administration and effectiveness.
‘The operation of HMRC has come under close scrutiny in the last few months as a result of the most recent round of PAYE reconciliations,’ the House of Commons Treasury Sub-Committee said.
MPs have launched an inquiry into HMRC’s administration and effectiveness.
‘The operation of HMRC has come under close scrutiny in the last few months as a result of the most recent round of PAYE reconciliations,’ the House of Commons Treasury Sub-Committee said.
‘The Department is subject to a significant efficiency programme and must make further savings as a result of the Comprehensive Spending Review. Looking ahead, the Government has made tax compliance a priority, with funding being made available in the CSR, and recently concluded a consultation on PAYE reform.’
The inquiry will consider HMRC’s performance as an organisation and whether it is delivering its key aims; what the implications are of HMRC’s spending review settlement; whether HMRC is able to deliver the Government’s aims on tax compliance; whether PAYE reform is necessary; and what HMRC’s priorities should be for the future.
George Mudie, the sub-committee’s Chairman, said: ‘HMRC was criticised heavily over the end of year reconciliations. Like most government departments it will have to make sizable cuts in administration. We will examine how HMRC is doing its job, whether it can do it better and what the future holds following the spending review settlement.’
