answer text

Around 10 million individuals are required to complete a Self Assessment tax return each year. The particular information about cost per case is only available at a disproportionate cost. But although HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not have this information readily available the average cost of processing a personal income tax return was published by HMRC in the ‘International Tax Benchmarking Study' in 2011 which is available on the HMRC website at: <a href="http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/research/benchmarking.pdf" target="_blank">www.hmrc.gov.uk/research/benchmarking.pdf</a>
