Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many HMRC staff work on compliance yield in relation to the tax gap.

Figures for 2021 to 2022, the latest year for which figures are available, can be found here: Managing tax compliance following the pandemic (nao.org.uk).

Not all staff working in Customer Compliance Group (CCG) will be directly working on compliance activity that closes the tax gap.

CCG brings in the majority, but not all, of HMRC’s compliance yield.
