Recommendation 78

78 Paragraph: 325

The Financial Secretary assured us that HMRC’s resources have been increased and are monitored.

Conclusion
The Financial Secretary assured us that HMRC’s resources have been increased and are monitored. Nonetheless, we note that successive Finance Bill Sub-Committees have raised the question of HMRC resourcing in recent reports, yet the situation seems to be getting worse. It is counter-productive to keep introducing new legislation placing additional burdens on HMRC if the department is already unable to provide a satisfactory level of service to taxpayers.
