Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Autumn Statement, how much of the £155 million in resources and technology for HMRC has already been invested; and how much has been raised as a result of that investment.
HMRC will receive an extra £155 million up to 2019-20 to increase their compliance activities to ensure individuals and businesses pay what they owe, helping to raise a forecasted £2.3 billion by 2022-23. The planned investment of £155m, announced at Autumn Budget 2017, relates to the 2018-19 financial year and future years. Additional revenues will not accrue before then.
