Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the most recent estimate is of the gender pay gap within HMRC.

HMRC’s gender pay gap analysis, published in December 2017, showed a base pay gap of 8.4% (mean) and 12.2% (median). Whilst this compares favourably with other Civil Service departments, HMRC is not complacent and are actively working to address the gap. HMRC continues to meet regularly with its recognised unions to review the pay position of all employees; with the shared ambition of ensuring annual pay awards are as fair as is reasonably possible.
