The government regularly reviews the levels of funding provided to HMRC. The 2021 Spending Review settlement gave HMRC a £0.9bn cash increase over Parliament, from £4.3bn in 2019/20 to £5.2bn in 2024/25.

Additional funding was also provided to HMRC at the recent Budget to ensure the department is able to collect the taxes that are due.
