The Government is consulting on proposals to tackle lower value tax debts in a way that is fair, proportionate and effective. The proposals are intended to address a small minority of taxpayers who can afford to pay what they owe but repeatedly choose not to do so and fail to engage with HMRC despite numerous attempts to make contact.
The consultation seeks views on the design, scope and safeguards that should apply to any future measure. This includes protections for taxpayers who may be experiencing temporary financial difficulty or who may have extra support needs, where views are sought on how best to identify such needs where they have not been communicated to HMRC.
As the consultation remains open, no final decisions have been taken on the design of the proposed measure. Therefore, the Government has not made final assessments relating to the matters raised. A full impact assessment will be published if, and when, legislation is brought forward.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will list each third party database that HMRC has access to for the purposes of income tax collection.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will list each third party database that HMRC has access to for the purposes of income tax collection.
HMRC use third-party data to help simplify tax administration. Specifically in relation to calculating tax due, the key sources of third-party data are:
o Department for Work and Pensions – pension income and benefit information
o Bank and building societies– savings interest information
o Employers – payroll data about payments to employees
In addition, HMRC also make use of third-party data in our compliance activities to ensure customers pay the right amount of income tax. To protect the operational integrity of these activities we do not disclose all of our data sources, but at a high level they include card sales data and other data that provides evidence of undeclared taxable income.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the number of taxpayers who would be affected annually by the proposed extension of powers to recover lower-value tax debts directly from bank accounts.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the number of taxpayers who would be affected annually by the proposed extension of powers to recover lower-value tax debts directly from bank accounts.
The vast majority of customers meet their tax obligations, with nine in ten paying in full and on time. The majority of liabilities that become a debt are resolved in the first few months as customers engage with HMRC in response to direct communications. When customers do not engage with HMRC, we cannot provide help to resolve their debt or other support as needed.
Each year over 750,000 lower value debts, collectively worth over £2 billion, are returned to HMRC from debt collection agencies where efforts to collect what is owed have been ignored. On 23 June 2026, the Government launched a consultation seeking views on how to tackle these lower-value tax debts. As the policy design is currently subject to consultation, the Government has not made a specific estimate of the number of taxpayers who would be affected annually by any extension of powers to recover lower-value tax debts directly from bank accounts. However, once fully operational, we expect fewer than 250,000 companies and individuals to be in scope per year, with less than that resulting in an automated instalment plan.
A full impact assessment would be conducted at the point of any legislation being brought forward.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the section titled Collecting Tax That is Due in the October 2024 Budget, what additional tax revenue was collected in 2025-26 as a result of the investment in additional HMRC compliance and debt management staff.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the section titled Collecting Tax That is Due in the October 2024 Budget, what additional tax revenue was collected in 2025-26 as a result of the investment in additional HMRC compliance and debt management staff.
The additional investment in HMRC debt management staff, as announced at Autumn Budget 2024, is estimated to have delivered £840 million in additional tax revenue in 2025-26. This exceeds the original forecast by approximately £140 million.
As announced at Autumn Budget 2024 and Spring Statement 2025, we will also recruit an additional 5,500 compliance staff by March 2030, consisting of around c.1,100 extra recruits each year between March 2025 and March 2030. These additional caseworkers are currently forecast to deliver around £10.7 billion of additional compliance yield over the next 5 years to 2030-31, with £145 million of that in 2025-26.

HMRC undertakes regular Payment Innovation landscape reviews, looking at the UK and international payment ecosystems, emerging payment technologies, and innovations relevant to tax administration and payment systems integration. This includes working with the payments sector and tracking usage of payment types.
HMRC has developed and published its Payment Strategy which sets out how it will keep pace with new and emerging technologies for payments.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the quarterly instalment payment regime on companies that realise large but infrequent capital gains, particularly in cases where tax liabilities cannot be known at the point quarterly payments fall due.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the quarterly instalment payment regime on companies that realise large but infrequent capital gains, particularly in cases where tax liabilities cannot be known at the point quarterly payments fall due.
If a company or a group's annual profits exceed £1.5 million, they will be classed as ‘large’ and will be required to pay their Corporation Tax in quarterly instalments. This long-standing regime ensures that larger companies pay their Corporation Tax bill closer to the point at which they make a profit, which is in line with other G7 countries.
Companies must self-assess whether they are in the regime and pay accordingly. Where liabilities may be difficult to predict, including from capital gains, companies should make their best estimate of instalment payments based on the information available at the time. Payments can be adjusted up or down as the final liability becomes clearer, and if they prove to be excessive a repayment can be claimed.
As always for late paid tax, interest is charged to reflect the time value of money. Recognising the estimated nature of the instalments, special rates of interest apply which charge less for late payment, and pay more for overpayment, than the normal rates.
The Government keeps the impact of the quarterly instalment payment regime, including associated interest rules, under review.

HMRC is committed to making sure that individuals and businesses who can pay, do so on time. Since Autumn Budget 2024, HMRC has received £782 million of investment in its debt collection activities, which will help it to collect over £12 billion more debt by the end of 2030-31.
HMRC published an update to its tax debt strategy at Budget 2025, outlining how the recent investment is helping to close the tax gap and reduce tax debt year-on-year as a percentage of receipts. The tax debt balance as a percentage of receipts fell from 5.2% in 2023-24 to 5% in 2024-25, and HMRC is aiming for this to decrease to between 3% and 4% by 2029-30.
HMRC has effective processes in place to collect debt including telephone and letter campaigns, strategic partnerships with private sector debt collection agencies, and where necessary, enforcement action. For customers who need financial support, it offers flexible Time to Pay payment plans which collect debt in affordable and sustainable instalments.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) estimates the size of the tax gap, which is the difference between the amount of tax that should, in theory, be paid to HMRC, and what is actually paid. The tax gap statistics and details of the estimate methodologies are published annually and are available at: Measuring tax gaps 2025 edition: tax gap estimates for 2023 to 2024 - GOV.UK.
Table 1.3 of the online tables shows the tax gap time series between tax years 2005 to 2006 and 2023 to 2024 in percentage and absolute value terms. In the tax year 2023 to 2024, the tax gap was 5.3% of total theoretical tax liabilities, or £46.8 billion in absolute terms. The tax gap was 5.6% (£46.4 billion) in 2022 to 2023, 5.6% (£41.8 billion) in 2021 to 2022, 5.3% (£34.2 billion) in 2020 to 2021, and 5.8% (£38.5 billion) in 2019 to 2020.

A key part of restoring economic stability and fiscal responsibility is closing the tax gap. Unpaid tax deprives UK public services of vital funding and puts businesses who pay the right tax at a competitive disadvantage.
At the Budget last autumn, the government introduced the most ambitious package ever to close the tax gap, ensuring more individuals and businesses pay the taxes they owe. At the Spring Statement, the government built on this and announced a package of measures to further close the tax gap and raise over £1 billion in additional gross tax revenue per year by 2029-30.
At the Spring Statement, the government announced it will fund the recruitment of a further 500 compliance officers, bringing the total compliance officer growth since July 2024 to 5,500 by 2029/30.
In addition, the government will fund the recruitment of an additional 600 staff into HMRC’s debt management teams to ensure those who can afford to pay their tax debts do so. It is also delivering on its commitments to prosecute more tax fraudsters, to introduce a new HMRC reward scheme for informants, to tackle ‘phoenixism’, and to overhaul HMRC’s approach to offshore tax non-compliance. The government has also set out its plans to go further in the future to make it easier for taxpayers to pay the right tax through a modern and digital tax system.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with HMRC on instructions given to debt collection agencies in the event of (a) an unresolved dispute or (b) error on a taxpayer's account.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with HMRC on instructions given to debt collection agencies in the event of (a) an unresolved dispute or (b) error on a taxpayer's account.
The debt collection agencies (DCAs) that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) collaborates with are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and are strictly bound by HMRC's processes and guidance.
HMRC undertakes regular reviews, including the monitoring of calls and examination of messages, to ensure compliance with these stringent processes and guidelines.
In the event of an unresolved dispute, or an error on a taxpayer's account, the DCAs must return the taxpayer’s case to HMRC for direct handling.HMRC will then work with the taxpayer to ensure that any disputes or errors are resolved.
