Treasury written question – answered at on 23 May 2012.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(1) how many additional tax inspectors have been recruited by HM Revenue and Customs in each month since September 2011;
(2) how many tax inspectors were employed by HM Revenue and Customs in each year since 2009.
HMRC was created by the merger of Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise in 2005 and “tax inspectors” is no longer a role within the merged organisation.
However, following the £917 million reinvestment in HMRC at the spending review 2010, the number of staff tackling avoidance and evasion and fraud will increase by around 2,500 full-time equivalent staff by 2014-15.
