Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment has been made of the value for money of the Making Tax Digital IT system.

This question was answered on 26th February 2018

Information on the Making Tax Digital (MTD) rollout was given in my written statement to the House on 13 July 2017, which is available here:

HM Revenue & Customs published a technical note on 1 December 2017 providing its assessment of MTD impacts. The note reflects the changed scale and scope of the mandatory elements announced in the 13 July statement and is available here:
