HMRC urged to put more tax services online
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) should widen the provision of online taxservices to save money and reduce the levels of errors in tax returns, according
to a
National
Audit Office (NAO) report.
The department has already encouraged online filing of Income Tax Self
Assessment returns, which saved an estimated £5m in processing costs in 2007-08.
But more could still be done, says the NAO report.
"The department should widen the provision of online services by emailing
rather than posting PAYE tax coding notices to those who have filed their Income
Tax Self Assessment returns online," it says.
The department should also seek to reinstate the online service for Tax
Credit claimants once it has successfully piloted a new secure service and
gained the necessary funding, says the NAO.
Problems with the original tax credits IT system run by EDS when it was
launched in 2003 affected 455,000 households and led to overpayments of £1.9bn.
Earlier this year a long-running dispute between HMRC and EDS over the system
ended with the US supplier agreeing to pay the government £26.5m.
The NAO report also says HMRC should explore the benefits and costs of
contracting out more high-volume, less-sensitive, automated data capture work.
