The Government has committed to ensuring HMRC has sufficient funding to maintain its compliance performance over time, while continuing to make efficiencies. Within Customer Compliance Group, staff are deployed across a wide range of compliance risks. Internally, these are usually grouped by customer segment, tax head or specific tax risk being worked.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC publishes information on the amounts spent on compliance by customer segment in our annual report and accounts at Tax by different customer groups \u2013 2022 to 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)<\/a>. The information for 2023 to 24 will be available in 2024. HMRC does not release detailed breakdowns of this information for operational reasons.<\/p>"}
