The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of HMRC’s Voluntary and Community Sector Grant Funding Scheme in improving tax compliance among vulnerable taxpayers.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

HMRC has worked in partnership with the Voluntary and Community Sector for over 20 years supporting customers who need extra help with their tax affairs. This collaboration has delivered many positive outcomes, helping vulnerable taxpayers better understand and meet their tax obligations. This supports improved levels of tax compliance across a customer base which might not always contact HMRC directly for assistance.

HMRC closely monitors the effectiveness of the Grant Funding Scheme.
