Responding to the National Audit Office report criticising HMRC performance, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“This scathing report from the NAO will come as no surprise to taxpayers who have tried and tried again to contact HMRC.
“While civil servants work from home, targets are being missed, standards are falling, and complaints are rising. All the while Brits are spending years waiting on hold.
“Ministers must get staff back behind their desks and deliver the service hard-working taxpayers deserve.”
