Company information
HM Revenue and Customs HMRC
Our 56,000 staff collectively bring in over £500 billion in tax revenues, from more than 45 million individuals and 5.2 million businesses; we are a major business with serious responsibilities.
As well as collecting tax, we administer benefit payments, pay out tax credits and help to protect national interests.
We interact with all kinds of people, from businesses to individuals. In fact, almost everyone comes into contact with us at some point, which makes customer service central to everything we do.
Our vision
We are the UK's tax, payments and customs authority, and we have a vital purpose: we collect the money that pays for the UK’s public services. We do this by being impartial and increasingly effective and efficient in our administration. We help the honest majority to get their tax right and make it hard for the dishonest minority to cheat the system.
