Peter Dowd MP for Bootle is more than a little pissed off with HMRC.
For why?
It seems that HMRC did not brief him ahead of the announcement that the town’s tax office was set to close.
The ECHO reports that early yesterday HMRC confirmed that it will close its Triad centre in Bootle, and that all staff will move to a new “super call centre” at the Grade II*-listed India Buildings in Liverpool city centre .
Peter Dowd, who has spoken out against the proposed move in the past, said:
“I am furious that I have had to learn of such an important decision from the ECHO. I later checked my emails and discovered that a letter from HMRC chief executive John Thompson was sent to me at around lunchtime today.Staff will start moving from the landmark Triad building on Stanley Road to the India building from 2019. Workers from other HMRC regional centres will also move to the India building on Water Street.
But that is still not good enough. I would like to point out that I am also shadow chief secretary to the treasury, and this decision fell well within my brief. I would have liked a bit of notice ahead of an announcement that is so important to my constituency.”
HMRC's communications found wanting?
Quelle surprise!
Tax does have to be taxing.
