<p>HMRC does not hold information separately on the costs of Connect because it relies
upon a range of independent IT platforms, data management and acquisition processes.
The most recent estimate of costs, in December 2015, was that HMRC had invested more
than £90m since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to provide an exact figure
for revenue raised each year exclusively relating to Connect because settled tax investigations
are often identified using more than one profiling tool or process. However, Connect
is integral to over 95% of all HMRC compliance cases, although other tools, data and
approaches also support this work. The table below shows the total compliance revenue
achieved by HMRC in the last 5 years.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>2016/17*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>£20,722m</p></td><td><p>£23,926m</p></td><td><p>£26,558m</p></td><td><p>£26,607m</p></td><td><p>£28,855m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
