HMRC have published details of progress being made under the Change Programme, which aims to support HMRC plans to modernise and transform its operations following the merger of the Inland Revenue and HM Revenue & Customs departments. In November 2006 the Chairman of HMRC announced a series of reviews on the future shape and direction of HMRC across the UK. The reviews are designed to take forward the consolidation of HMRC's estate following the creation of the department from the former Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise, and the re-location of staff nationwide in line with current business plans. The overall aim is to deliver a more efficient and effective service to customers, businesses and individuals. HMRC have reported that the reviews now underway are reaching all parts of the UK. MPs, local authorities and national representatives of business and voluntary groups are being asked to contribute. The effects of proposals on all participants will be examined at key points throughout the decision-making process. Formal assessments are being published on every building proposed for vacation and can be found at Better Regulation: Impact Assessments for Regional Reviews. A fuller explanation of the Review process is available at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/local/transforming-hmrc.htm.
