With reference to the section titled Collecting Tax That is Due in the October 2024 Budget, what additional tax revenue was collected in 2025-26 as a result of the investment in additional HMRC compliance and debt management staff.

Reply

The additional investment in HMRC debt management staff, as announced at Autumn Budget 2024, is estimated to have delivered £840 million in additional tax revenue in 2025-26. This exceeds the original forecast by approximately £140 million. As announced at Autumn Budget 2024 and Spring Statement 2025, we will also recruit an additional 5,500 compliance staff by March 2030, consisting of around c.1,100 extra recruits each year between March 2025 and March 2030. These additional caseworkers are currently forecast to deliver around £10.7 billion of additional compliance yield over the next 5 years to 2030-31, with £145 million of that in 2025-26.
