uin	155386
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2018 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has reported the impact of its compliance work each year since it was formed in 2005. Compliance yield is recorded under five classifications:</p><ul><li>Cash expected</li><li>Revenue loss prevented</li><li>Future revenue benefit (FRB)</li><li>Product and process yield</li><li>Accelerated Payments</li></ul><p> </p><p>These classifications are explained further in HMRC’s Annual Report and Accounts 2016-17, which also sets out (on page 23) the size of each of these components. The document can be found at:</p><p> </p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmrcs-annual-report-and-accounts</p><p> </p><p>Other than the inclusion of ‘Accelerated Payments’ from 2014, the methodology for calculating HMRC’s compliance yield has remained stable since the start of the SR10 period. Since the start of SR15, HMRC has reported FRB in the year in which the FRB has an impact on Exchequer receipts rather than in the year in which HMRC complete compliance interventions.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 27/06/2018 11:38:45 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to HMRC monthly performance update: January 2018, published on 1 March 2018, what assessment his Department has made of the reasons for (a) the reduction in post turnaround speed between 2013-14 and 2015-16, and (b) the improvement in post turnaround speed 2016-17.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2018 answer text <p>In 2014-15 HMRC introduced a number of longer-term changes to improve customer service, such as a new telephony system and digital mail system, which unfortunately led to longer call handling times. To limit these impacts HMRC prioritised phone service over post, which led to a reduction in post performance. During the early part of 2015-16 due to the prioritisation of phones over post HMRC had a large amount of post on hand which led to significant underperformance. HMRC took action during the year to address the poor performance by recruiting additional staff and moving staff from other areas of HMRC to work on post.</p><p> </p><p>Efforts to reduce the levels of post on hand resulted in improved service levels – during the last four months of 2015-16 HMRC turned around more than 95% of post within 40 days and more than 70% within 15 days. The improvement continued into 2016-17 where HMRC exceeded their targets for turning round customer post.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 27/06/2018 11:27:27 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
