tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	137773
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>Any loss of life is a tragedy, and the Government takes issues relating to loss of life extremely seriously. On 6 January 2023, HM Revenue and Customs wrote to the Treasury Select Committee to inform them that ten referrals have been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) where a taxpayer has sadly taken their life and used a disguised remuneration scheme. HMRC made the first of these referrals to the IOPC in March 2019. Following referral HMRC has conducted internal investigations, eight investigations have concluded and there was no evidence of misconduct by any HMRC officer. Two investigations are currently ongoing. HMRC is committed to learning and making improvements so as to avoid causing undue stress and, wherever possible, identify taxpayers who need extra help and give them the support they need.</p><p> </p><p>Taxpayers are also supported by HMRC’s Extra Support Teams. These are teams of trained advisors who, where appropriate, signpost taxpayers to Voluntary and Community organisations. To further improve the emotional support offered to taxpayers, HMRC and Samaritans are working together to deliver an 18-month project. As part of the pilot, Samaritans will further strengthen the capability and confidence of HMRC’s Extra Support Teams by providing additional guidance and coaching techniques to identify taxpayers who might be in vulnerable circumstances. Where needed, HMRC will signpost taxpayers to specialist emotional support through a dedicated Samaritans helpline.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 07/02/2023 19:42:16 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
