In HMRC, we are creating a dynamic, customer centric and data-driven organisation with a culture that focuses on and significantly invests in the continual development of our people. To meet the challenges of bringing in more tax, closing the tax gap, reducing costs and improving the customer experience, we need to evolve our approach, using smart data analysis and state of the art technology to drive customer led solutions. 

Our IT methodology to achieve this is quite simple – work collaboratively across the organisation to simplify tax and reduce customer effort through an engaged and efficient organisation in order to exceed revenue targets.
