Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the replacement for the HM Revenue and Customs contract will involve provision and a costing for support for tax credits.
The Tax Credits systems will continue to be supported by HM Revenue and Customs until such time as all Tax Credits customers have migrated to Universal Credits. We also expect some retrospective work on Tax Credits to continue after the migration has completed for error/fraud/debt reasons. Costs related to providing this continuing support will be included in the contract replacement work.
