answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2017 answer text <p>One of the government’s key objectives for the UK’s future customs regime is to ensure that trade including that with the EU remains as frictionless as possible. At this stage the level of future facilitation at the border between the UK and the EU is unknown and subject to the outcome of negotiations. It is therefore not possible to weigh up the costs and benefits to business.</p><p> </p><p>The government is undertaking a comprehensive programme of analytical work to assess, across a range of scenarios on a sector by sector basis, the economic impacts of exiting the European Union, but this analysis is sensitive in the context of negotiations with the EU. As Parliament has agreed, it would not be appropriate to publish any such information that could damage our negotiating position.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 19/10/2017 13:13:39 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2017 answer text <p>HMRC has always taken a risk-based approach to its compliance interventions, allowing it to focus its resources on the highest tax risks which it tackles through a wide range of targeted compliance interventions.</p><p> </p><p>This national risk-based model and compliance approach has enabled HMRC to secure more than £160 billion in compliance yield since 2010. This amount increased year-on-year as the model has been further refined, reaching a record £28.9 billion in 2016-17.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC’s world-leading data and analytical function gives it an informed view of tax risks across the whole of the UK; including geographically remote areas. All of the available evidence shows that the highest compliance risks are in, or close to, urban centres, and that 95 per cent of the highest risks are within 90 minutes’ drive of one of the planned Regional Centres or Specialist Sites.</p><p> </p><p>Although face-to-face compliance work will continue to have an important role, HMRC will only use it where it is the most efficient way to progress an intervention or regulatory requirement. As its use of data and customer insight continues to grow, more of this work will be done remotely, supported by high-profile targeted taskforce interventions that will enable it to address compliance risks in more remote locations.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 19/10/2017 13:20:35 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
