HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) established a clear set of eight location principles to determine the location of its regional centres. These were:<\/p>
HMRC values its people and wants as many as possible to move with the work to the regional centres. In addition to the eight location principles, it looked at where its staff live and initially assessed more than 40 of its existing medium to large sized locations against the principles as possible regional centres. These included: Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Blackburn, Bolton, Bradford, Bristol, Cardiff, Chatham, Chesterfield, Dover, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Grimsby, Harwich, Ipswich, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Maidstone, Manchester, Newcastle, Northampton, Nottingham, Peterborough, Peterlee, Preston, Plymouth, Reading, Redruth, Sheffield, Shipley, Solent (including Portsmouth), Southend-on-Sea, Stockton-on \u2013Tees, Taunton, Telford, Workington, Worthing, Wrexham. For areas where a particular town was part of a conurbation, the conurbation was assessed as part of those listed above, for example Sunderland and Washington as part of Newcastle.<\/p>

HM Revenue and Customs\u2019 (HMRC) Location Programme is the result of an extended period of consultation and deliberation. The Department has taken account of a number of criteria in reaching its decisions, including the quality of local transport links, the local labour market and future workforce supply, the cost of buildings and asset value, and the need to retain the staff and skills it needs to continue its transformation. These changes will reduce HMRC\u2019s estates costs by around £100 million a year by 2025.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC conducted high level People Impact and Equality Assessments to inform its planning. The Department plans to update these once discussions have been held with its staff.<\/p>
