How will the needs of customers who need extra help evolve over time as we modernise the way we interact with customers, and how can we use future technology to better support these customers?

Background

Research in this theme pertains to how HMRC can best support customers by making it easy to get tax right; customers’ experience of HMRC and how well they perceive delivery on Charter standards. This includes, but is not limited to, their experience across multiple channels such as digital, phone, webchat and guidance and how different tax regimes affect customers in paying their taxes in terms of time taken, financial cost and their overall ease of experience. In addition, we are interested in exploring links between customer experience and ways of working within HMRC.
