Download or read book The Control and Facilitation of Imports written by Great Britain. National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HM Revenue & Customs clears most imported goods quickly, and processes for submitting customs declarations and payments for non-EU imports are straightforward. The rate of physical checks at the UK border is below the EU average, however, and the number of audits of traders has dropped substantially since 2005-06. Ninety-nine per cent of declarations are processed electronically and 90 per cent of goods are cleared immediately. The Department checks documents for about 6 per cent of imports each year and aims to clear 95 per cent of these within two hours. However, a recent quality review by the Department found an 18 per cent error rate in these checks. The Department has only recently standardised the reporting of physical checks, and these reports suggest that between 2 and 3 per cent of imports get checked (The EU average is 9 per cent). The Department needs to improve its reporting, develop a standard for the minimum level of checking and undertake testing to understand compliance levels. Audits of traders fell by half for large businesses and two-fifths for small and medium businesses between 2005-06 and 2007-08. The additional revenue from this compliance work is reducing while the level of errors detected is rising, particularly among new traders. For small and medium sized businesses, the level of errors detected has increased from 32 to 39 per cent. The fragmented management of customs activities within the Department, a lack of clear accountability, and incomplete management information have hindered effective oversight of its performance and risk management.

Download or read book HMRC written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007-08, HM Revenue & Customs (the Department) processed some 22 million import declarations from 16,000 traders, accounting for over £186 billion of goods imported from outside the European Union (EU). It collected £2.5 billion in Customs Duty and £19.3 billion in Import VAT. Some 99 per cent of declarations are submitted electronically and the Department clears around 90 per cent of imports without further check beyond its initial system scrutiny. The Department provides services to help traders navigate the extremely complex classifications, rules and procedures (set by the EU), but traders find it difficult to comply, and simple errors can lead to demands for large back duty payments. The Department controls imports by undertaking documentary checks, physical checks at the frontier (now done by the UK Border Agency), and trader audits. Most effort is directed to documentary checks and trader audits, yet the number of these has fallen significantly even though the number of consignments has increased, and the rate of physical examinations of goods at the frontier was well below the EU average of 9%. The number of trader audits halved between 2005-06 and 2007-08, leading to reduced revenue from this work, while levels of non-compliance increased. The Department's management of customs work and risk assessment is spread across eight directorates and, since April 2008, the UK Border Agency. Poor management information has hindered effective oversight of performance and risk management. In 2007, the Department established the Customs Strategy Delivery Group to improve its strategic and operational management of customs activities.
