HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is the UK government department responsible for the collection of taxes, payment of some forms of state support, and enforcement of tax laws. Headquartered in London, HMRC operates across Great Britain, ensuring compliance and facilitating revenue collection in various regions. Established in 2005, it emerged from the merger of the Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise, marking a significant milestone in the UK's tax administration. HMRC's core services include tax collection, customs enforcement, and the administration of benefits and credits, all aimed at supporting the UK economy. Its unique position as a government agency allows it to implement policies that directly impact public finance and welfare. Recognised for its commitment to improving taxpayer services, HMRC continues to enhance its digital offerings, solidifying its role as a leader in the public sector.
