HMRC are working with colleagues in DWP on plans for staff and building transfers. Transfers are dependent on DWP’s requirements and HMRC’s Tax Credit caseload run down.

The present planning assumption is that approximately 2,000 staff currently working in Guild Tower and Unicentre, Preston and Sidlaw House, Dundee will be available to transfer across to DWP in line with the migration timetable through to 2022.
