About HMRC

More than just the Taxman.

HMRC is one of the largest employers in the UK with over 66,000 employees nationwide. We’re not just about collecting taxes from individuals and businesses. The revenue we gather funds vital public services, from schools and hospitals to roads and communities, making a real difference in people’s lives.

Here, your commitment to social good will thrive as you take pride in playing a crucial role in supporting society.

We also champion workers’ rights by enforcing the minimum wage and support families by administering benefits like child benefit, tax-free childcare, statutory sick pay and tax credits.

But there’s so much more to HMRC than tax! We offer diverse career paths across the UK in areas such as commercial, property management, communications, human resources, project delivery, digital services and more. Discover the surprising range of opportunities and see where your career could take you.
