Bristol set to become one of the UK’s tax hubs

By Bristol24/7  Tuesday Dec 20, 2016

Bristol is set to become one of the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) regional centres employing hundreds of civil servants.

HMRC has formally signed an agreement to lease a building at 3 Glass Wharf, next to Temple Meads, for 25 years. It will move up to 1,250 civil servants from across HMRC into the offices between 2019 and 2021, including teams working on tax compliance and debt management.

Bristol is the second site to be confirmed as part of its transformation plans and Jon Thompson, chief executive of HMRC, said the organisation has “a large and long-established presence in the South West and the new regional centre in Bristol demonstrates our commitment to the region and its economy”. 
 
Marvin Rees, mayor of Bristol, said the announcement was “great news for Bristol and the Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone”.

” A new regional centre for HMRC will bring many more jobs to Bristol and is another sign that the scale of ambition for the city is being recognised as we expect more organisations and businesses to be attracted to the city in the future.”
