<p>HMRC enforces the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW) in
line with the law and policy set out by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT).</p><p>The
Government is determined that everyone who is entitled to the NMW receives it.</p><p>HMRC’s
NMW compliance work is funded by DBT. The annual funding for minimum wage enforcement
has doubled since 2015 (Table 1, link below) and this additional investment has enabled
a significant expansion of resources dedicated to enforcing the minimum wage.</p><p><a
