Accenture (NYSE:ACN) will provide Her Majesty’s Revenue &
Customs (HMRC) with application services. In this role, Accenture
will support HMRC to increase its use of digital technologies
across HMRC’s primary personal tax platform, the National Insurance
and PAYE Service (NPS).
Under the terms of the agreement, which runs through to June
2020, Accenture will develop, implement and maintain a secure
cloud-hosted tax-management platform for individual taxpayers. The
services will be provided from the Accenture Delivery Center in
Newcastle, part of the Accenture Global Delivery Network.
Accenture already manages and maintains the National Insurance
& PAYE Service (NPS) for HMRC, which will support HMRC’S
capability to deliver faster and increasingly personalised services
to U.K. taxpayers.
“In support of HMRC’s innovative and customer-focused program,
we will deploy leading digital technologies to radically transform
and re-engineer the National Insurance PAYE Service applications
and architecture, placing them at the heart of taxation for
individuals,” said Mark Larsen, managing director of Accenture’s
Newcastle Delivery Centre, who leads Accenture’s work with
HMRC.
HMRC is the UK tax authority. It collects taxes and duties from
45 million individuals and 5.2 million businesses, supports trade
and growth through customs and pays tax credits to 4.6 million
household and Child Benefit to 7.5 million families. More than 2.5
million UK citizens have accessed their Personal Tax Account (PTA)
in the first six months of 2016, enabling them to check their state
pension forecast, apply for marriage allowance, update income
estimates, correct their tax payments and track submitted
forms.
