HMRC’s Annual Report and Accounts 2025/26 provides valuable insight into the authority’s strategic direction and priorities for the coming years. This year there is a strong focus within the report on HMRC’s progress in delivering the government’s Tax Transformation Roadmap and strategic objectives of closing the tax gap, improving customer service and modernising the tax administration.
In particular, HMRC continues to pursue a digital-first approach, investing in technology to improve customer experience and streamline tax administration. Our Dbriefs session will highlight HMRC’s growing use of AI and data analytics to identify tax risks, alongside significant investment in compliance activity to support efforts to reduce the tax gap. What do these developments mean for your organisation’s tax risk and compliance strategy? We’ll discuss:
- Key themes and priorities from HMRC’s Annual Report 2025/26
- How digitalisation, AI and data analytics are reshaping HMRC’s approach
- The implications of increased compliance resource and activity
Find out what HMRC’s latest priorities could mean for your business.
