Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people worked in HMRC's Wealthy Team in (a) 2022-23 and (b) each year since its founding.
HMRC’s Wealthy teams were formed in April 2017, a merger of the previous High Net Worth Unit and Affluent teams.
The tax affairs of Wealthy customers can be complex and the staff in HMRC’s Wealthy unit work with teams across HMRC to tackle non- compliance.
The below table provides the correct number of FTE staff within the WMBC Wealthy Unit broken down by tax year:
FTE staff as at:
31 March 2016 to 2017 | 1,007 |
