Asked by: Gregory Campbell (Democratic Unionist Party - East Londonderry)
Monday 13th April 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment has been made of the potential benefits derived to Northern Ireland people and businesses from the Belfast Office operational since December 2024.

Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury

HM Treasury has not made a standalone assessment of the benefits of the HMRC Belfast office, but having an operational presence in Belfast supports access to HMRC services, engagement with local businesses and stakeholders, and the effective administration of the tax system in Northern Ireland.
