DUBLIN (BUSINESS WIRE) Research and Markets (http //www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xxjwj4/analysing_the_tax) has announced the addition of the Analysing the Tax Gap Deep dive Profile for HM Revenue and Customs report to their offering.

HMRC (HM Revenue and Customs) is no stranger to challenges though the ones it currently faces are particularly steep. It has to close the tax gap by 7bn a year reduce the amount spent on benefits and credits by 8.3bn and it has to do this while introducing an overhaul to the way in which PAYE information is reported reducing the overall headcount of the organisation by 10 000 and reducing the cost of undertaking these services by 955m by the end of 2015 16.

To ensure these challenges are met HMRC continues to rely heavily on ICT. Though even this area is not immune from the drive to save money nor is it able to ignore some of the wider trends shaping procurement across Whitehall.

For suppliers who might historically have shied away from HMRC given its prevalence to channel its ICT demands through Aspire things are changing as HMRC increasingly looks outside of its current contracts. These suppliers could now find HMRC a fertile ground.
