HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are continuing to discuss with their staff the locations of the future Regional Centres. They have however, told them how in-principle decisions will be made.

For Wales, HMRC has told staff that it believes that Cardiff is the most suitable location for a future Regional Centre in Wales, since it is already the biggest HMRC location in the country. However, no decisions have yet been made on the precise location or timing of a new HMRC Regional Centre in Cardiff or the nature and timing of impacts on other HMRC locations in Wales.

In October 2014, HMRC shared the main elements of the Building our Future vision with MPs and Assembly Members and HMRC has committed to keeping MPs and Assembly Members informed of the outcomes of these conversations.

All HMRC staff members are invited to participate in Building our Future events and staff choose which event and location they attend. Over 85% of Wrexham staff attended the last set of events.
