That the Parliament welcomes news that HMRC has signed a lease in Glasgow’s Atlantic Square in the city’s commercial district to accommodate one of its 13 new regional centres; understands that the centre is due to open in 2021, with around 2,700 full-time equivalent HMRC employees based in Glasgow’s city centre; notes that this new regional centre will bring together both operational delivery and tax professional work teams to help individuals accurately assess their tax liability, while also cracking down on tax avoidance; congratulates HMRC on investing in Glasgow, and recognises the contribution that this investment will make to the local and regional economy in the long term.
