44 Million Calls to HMRC Unanswered

A report out today shows 44 million calls to HM Revenue and Customs went unanswered in the year from 2008-2009. The National Audit Office is calling the performance of 31 call centres across the UK ‘unacceptable’. Their figures show 103 million calls were made to HMRC. The answer rate fell from 71% the previous year, to just 57%, however, the NAO has said the volume of calls made during this period increased by 22%. During peak times, just 1 in 3 calls were answered and calls that did get through had to wait an average of 2 minutes for a reply or 4 minutes during the busiest times. A spokesman for HMRC says its performance has ‘significantly improved’ in 2009-2010. If you’re having trouble getting through to the tax man, a member of the Excellium Umbrella team may be able to offer you the advice you need.
