| How some future savings can be made |
|
A recent government report sets out how new measures to tackle fraud & error will save the taxpayer £2.6bn a year. Measures include simplifying the benefit & tax credits system, more accurate monitoring of changes in income through Real Time Information (RTI) data, and improved detection of fraud & error through improved sharing of data across government. The report – Tackling fraud, error & debt in the benefits and tax credits system – published jointly by the Department for Work and Pensions & HM Revenue & Customs - explains how changes to the benefits & tax credits system (including the full roll-out of Universal Credit with RTI) will lead to the savings. |
