The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the estimated administrative cost savings to HMRC are from tax simplification measures announced in Spring 2025.

Answered by James Murray

The tax simplification measures announced will support economic growth by reducing burdens on businesses, employers and employees. The ongoing Spending Review will, once collectively agreed by Cabinet, set out HMRC’s settlement, including the administrative cost savings that HMRC will deliver through the simplification measures announced on 28 April. The Spending Review will be presented to Parliament in the usual way on 11 June.
