HMRC reform: digital transformation and closing the tax gap
In line with the e-invoicing initiative we reported on elsewhere, the Chancellor also outlined broader reforms to modernise HMRC through a Digital Transformation Roadmap, which is expected in Spring 2025. This roadmap will aim to create a “digital-first” tax system, although it will include measures to ensure support for those unable to go fully digital. In addition, James Murray, who is Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury and is responsible for the UK’s tax system, has been appointed as the Chair of the HMRC Board.
