KEYNOTE SESSION – HMRC UPDATE
Sponsored by
Myrtle Lloyd | Director general - customer service group | HMRC
Steve Watmore, payroll product manager for UK and Ireland, Sage, introduced the sponsored keynote speaker.
Myrtle Lloyd took to the stage to discuss HMRC’s performance over the past year, and the factors that have impacted the work it carries out. This included how the organisation is building its resilience and recovering from the turbulence caused by the pandemic. Looking to the future, Myrtle discussed HMRC’s ‘digital ambition’ focusing on the move to making tax digital for value-added tax and income tax self-assessment. She also explained how the organisation is impacted by external challenges, and how it has helped, and will continue to help its customers during challenging times. There was mention of the change to National Insurance (NI) contributions, and how it has impacted HMRC’s work, just as it has for our profession.
Myrtle wrapped up by confirming that HMRC wants to continue to work in collaboration with the payroll profession to make things better for the future.
