Following the Single Compliance Process (SCP) initial trial phase, HMRC has extended the original trial phase for further testing in some of the more technically complex compliance checks This work will help HMRC to understand more about how customers will benefit from an SCP approach. It will also allow the department to gather additional information to establish that indicative benefits will be seen across the broader range of cases - particularly those that lasted longer than the initial trial period. The decision to further test the process should not been seen as an indication that any assumptions have been made on the future of the SCP. The process is still being tested and while there are many positive indications, lessons continue to be learnt on the best design of the process and its impact.
