Taxation: Fraud

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentTreasuryTabled Answered 21 January 2025UIN 23701

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions she has had with the Serious Fraud Office's Victim and Witness Care Unit on HMRC treatment of victims of fraud.

Answered by James Murray

HMRC liaises with a number of organisations in carrying out its functions. HMRC has a range of options to support those who require extra help, including victims of fraud and has guidance and training in place for all advisors on how to identify customers who need extra help and provide reasonable adjustments to meet their needs. Where appropriate, HMRC will also signpost taxpayers to voluntary and community organisations.
