'Building our Future' is HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC's) vision for how it will serve its customers in the future, which it is currently presenting and discussing with its entire workforce. HMRC wants its employees to influence how the department is transforming to be a more effective, efficient and customer-focused organisation. The events started in May and will run until August 2014 and aim to bring together employees from different teams from across the department.<\/p>

The final costs will be published on-line as part of the Government's commitment to transparency<\/p>

The Spending review means HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will reduce in size to 52,000 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) posts by 2016. Reduced staffing levels mean a reduced need for accommodation and HMRC has to consider where and how work will be done in the future.<\/p>

<\/p>

Irvine is one of 14 offices which do not feature in the longer term plans of any of HMRC's lines of business and in November staff based at these locations were invited to apply for voluntary exits if they wished to leave the department now. Those who accepted exits left on 30 April.<\/p>

<\/p>

On 5 June HMRC opened consultation on the possible closure date for 12 of these 14 offices. The proposed closure date for Irvine is December 2015. Consultation will last until 5 August and HMRC's decision will be announced in September.<\/p>

<\/p>
