Revenue and Customs and Treasury: Remote Working

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 18 March 2026UIN 119611

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how (a) HM Revenue and Customs and (b) her Department check the office attendance of individual civil servants.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

HM Revenue and Customs and HM Treasury operate hybrid working arrangements in line with the Civil Service expectation on office attendance. Employees are expected to spend at least 60 per cent of their time in the office. Line managers are responsible for monitoring attendance and for addressing non‑compliance using appropriate informal and formal management processes. Office attendance is monitored using available building access data or network log‑on information.
