Equality Impact Assessments for Regional Reviews
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) announced in November 2006 a nationwide Programme of Regional Reviews looking at the Department’s office accommodation with a view to bringing it into line with future business needs and achieving savings on behalf of the taxpayer. A description of how the Programme works, and a timetable, is available at HM Revenue & Customs Change Programme.
The effects of proposals on HMRC customers, staff and other stakeholders are examined in Impact Assessments and, where appropriate, Equality Impact Assessments.
The table below lists the Equality Impact Assessments and related documents published to date.
