HMRC by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts Pdf

In 2011-12, 20 million phone calls to HMRC were not answered. It cost the callers £136 million while they waited to speak to an adviser. And, against its target of responding to 80% of letters within 15 days, the department managed to reply to just 66%. Officials are beginning to realize that good customer service lies at the heart of any strategy to maximize revenues while cutting costs. Callers will no longer be forced to use the more expensive 0845 numbers. Other planned changes include the resolution of more queries first time and a call-back service where this is not possible. However, HMRC's new target of answering 80% of calls within five minutes is still woefully short of the industry standard of answering 80% of calls within 20 seconds. Just how the department is going to improve standards of customer service, given the prospect of its having fewer staff and receiving a higher volume of calls, is open to question. HMRC plans to cut the number of customer-facing staff by a third by 2015. At the same time, the stresses associated with introducing the Real Time Information System, Universal Credit and changes to child benefit are likely to drive up the number of phone calls to the department. HMRC is also to close all of its 281 enquiry centres which give face-to-face advice to customers. HMRC considers that it will be able to improve service standards by using its staff more flexibly. It may need to put in additional resources, though, to avoid the kind of plummeting performance we have seen in the past

HC 458 - HMRC's Progress in Improving Tax Compliance and Preventing Tax Avoidance by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Committee of Public Accounts Pdf

HMRC's action against tax avoiders continues to be unacceptably slow. The Liberty scheme, for example, began in 2005 and was closed down in 2009, but it has taken until 2014 to take this case to a tax tribunal. Up to £10 million of the total £400 million tax at stake may not be recoverable because in 30 cases HMRC failed to start inquiries into personal tax returns within the 12 month statutory deadline. HMRC should report on the progress it has achieved by using new powers granted by Parliament and show that it is using its existing powers with sufficient urgency. Recent changes to the UK tax regime have been challenged by international bodies like the OECD and European Commission as constituting 'harmful tax practices'. These changes make it easier for global companies to avoid paying tax in the jurisdictions where they make a profit. HM Treasury and HMRC should provide details of progress in identifying and addressing the ways that international tax structures are exploited, and set out the actual costs and benefits of recent changes to the UK's tax regime. It is amazing that HMRC made a £1.9 billion error when it established its baseline and set targets for its compliance work. This means HMRC has been overstating the extent to which its performance on compliance yield has improved and it inadvertently presented misleading information to Parliament. Astonishingly, this significant error in a key performance measure went undetected by HMRC's own system of governance and internal audit for three years

House of Commons - Committee of Public Accounts: HMRC Tax Collection: Annual Report & Accounts 2012-13 - HC 666 by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts Pdf

In pursuing unpaid tax, HMRC has not clearly demonstrated that it is on the side of the majority of taxpayers who pay their taxes in full. Last year the Department collected less tax in real terms than it managed to collect in 2011-12. This was despite the stated ambition to crack down on tax avoidance. The tax gap as defined by HMRC did not shrink, but in 2011-12 grew to £35 billion. Furthermore, this figure does not include all the tax revenue lost. HMRC pursues tax owed by the smaller businesses but seems to lose its nerve when it comes to mounting prosecutions against multinational corporations. It predicted that it would collect £3.12 billion unpaid tax from UK holders of Swiss bank accounts and this figure was built into budget estimates, but in 2013-14 it has so far secured just £440 million. HMRC aims to make the UK more attractive to business but the incentives to international corporations may also enable them to avoid tax. HMRC needs to strike the right balance between support and enforcement. The implementation of the Real Time Information system has been encouraging overall though some small businesses are continuing to struggle. It is of concern that HMRC is planning from April 2014 to fine companies even though some face continuing challenges. The successful implementation of Universal Credit depends on RTI continuing to work properly but the system does not have full disaster recovery arrangements. System failures could have serious consequences for payments to individuals

Integration of Revenue Administration by World Bank Pdf

In order to minimize the need for taxpayers to respond to multiple revenue agencies, some countries have integrated their revenue administrations, either by merging tax and customs administration, or unifying collection of tax and social contributions. This book examines the experience of 11 countries in doing so. Their experiences indicate that integrating collection entails modernizing the revenue administration and reducing contact between the tax office and taxpayers, thanks to the extensive use of ICT.

House of Commons - Committee of Public Accounts: HM Revenue & Customs: Progress in Tackling Tobacco Smuggling - HC 297 by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts Pdf

Tobacco smuggling represents a significant risk to revenues. It undermines initiatives to reduce smoking and it is linked to the activities of organised criminal gangs. HMRC estimates that duty not paid on tobacco smoked in the UK in 2010-11 resulted in revenue losses of around £1.9 billion. Some 9% of cigarettes and 38% of hand-rolling tobacco sold in the UK are estimated to be illicit, yet there were only 265 prosecutions for tobacco smuggling in 2012-13. HMRC's 2010 Spending Review settlement included £25 million over four years to invest in new initiatives to tackle tobacco smuggling. However HMRC was also required to find efficiency savings so total spending on HMRC's tobacco strategy in 2011-12 rose by only £3 million to £68.9 million and fell to £67.4 million in 2012-13. By the end of 2012-13, three of the five Spending Review-funded projects had yielded nothing and the Committee is not convinced that the Spending Review projects will deliver the £900 million benefit, in terms of revenue loss prevented, that HMRC now predicts they will achieve by March 2015. The Department has also failed to challenge UK tobacco manufacturers who turn a blind eye to the avoidance of UK tax by supplying more of their products to European countries than the legitimate market in those countries could possibly require. The tobacco then finds its way back into the UK market without tax being paid. The supply of some brands of hand-rolling tobacco to some countries in 2011 exceeded legitimate demand by 240%.

The Draft Finance Bill 2013 by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: Select Committee on Economic Affairs Pdf

The Draft Finance Bill 2013 (HL 139) evaluates the draft Finance Bill which, following detailed consultations based on the findings of an independent study group, includes proposals for a General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR), narrowly targeted at abusive transactions which fail a stringent 'double reasonableness' test. The provisions also include the formation of an Advisory Panel to agree guidance and give its opinion on the application of the double reasonableness test to a given set of tax arrangements. Most agree the narrow focus was appropriate. Some witnesses argued that HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) should set up a clearance system to reduce uncertainty about where the GAAR would apply. Many witnesses were very concerned at the application of the GAAR to transactions involving inheritance tax planning. The Bill also includes an Annual Residential Property Tax Package (ARPT) which is part of a package of measures to address Stamp Duty Land Tax avoidance by
