HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)’s compliance performance is measured using internal management information systems. This data is constructed from information derived from individual compliance cases or activities within HMRC.

All items are additional tax revenues raised from compliance activities, hence the term additional.

The additional tax revenues collected from compliance activities by HM Revenue and Customs for each year since May 2010 is as follows.

(£bn)

2010/11*

2011/12

2012/13

2013/14

2014/15

Outturns

13.9

18.6

20.7

23.9

Target

26

*Note: the methodology for calculating additional tax revenues from compliance activity changed between 2010/11 and 2011/12, and so the figure of £13.9bn is not directly comparable to later years.
