HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not comment on individual cases and has no plans to publish a report into its investigations into the six social care companies.

In 2015/16, HMRC launched a campaign of targeted enforcement into the social care sector, in which a number of providers – both large and small – were investigated for National Minimum Wage compliance. During that year HMRC identified over £650,000 in arrears for nearly 3400 workers in the sector.
