Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people who are (a) contingent labour, (b) supplier resource and (c) civil servants working on the making tax digital for individuals programme.
The Making Tax Digital for Individuals programme was officially closed in May 2018. However, it was recognised that a number of projects within that programme needed to be completed to avoid any potential operational issues for HMRC. The teams and the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) number of personnel that hold responsibility for the work in this area can be seen in the table below:
Team | Civil Servants | Contingent Labour | Suppliers |
Project Team | 9 | 0 | 0 |
Policy and Design Team | 7.5 | 0 | 0 |
Technical and Digital Team | 8.6 | 0.1 | 0 |
Suppliers | 0 | 0 | 47 |
