As part of the transparency policy for publication of major projects data the Major Projects Authority (MPA) has published its first Annual Report. It includes a set of combined data of the Government’s Major Projects Portfolio, progress and future priorities. In addition, each government department has published detailed information about their Government Major Project Portfolio (GMPP). This includes the MPA RAG rating, key project data including financial information (whole life cost, annual budget and forecast spend) and timetable. This data is six months in arrears and will be updated every twelve months.

The publication of this data represents a fundamental step forward in the Government’s drive for transparency.

Business plan indicators are initial management information to provide an indication of HMRC's performance, and are therefore subject to revision and audit. Final performance figures will be made available when the annual audited accounts and departmental report are published.

The quarterly data summary (QDS) is designed to fit on a single page to provide a quarterly snapshot on how each department is spending its budget, the results it has achieved and how it is deploying its workforce. Before using this data people should ensure they take full note of the caveats noted in the measurement annex and treat it with necessary caution.

At the moment, people should not be using this QDS data to make direct comparisons between departments for several reasons. Firstly, the business of each department is unique and it does not make sense to compare some measures across all departments. Secondly, many of the measures are not directly comparable because they do not have common definitions, time periods, or data collection processes.

UPDATE : From Q1 2013/14, the Cabinet Office now publish this QDS data on the Government Interrogation Spending Tool (GIST) website http://www.gist.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/.

Part of HM Revenue & Customs' (HMRC's) research activities involve comparing the way HMRC work to counterparts in other countries. This work allows HMRC to identify leading practice elsewhere, and identify potential opportunities for improvement. It also allows other tax administrations to learn from HMRC's practices, and areas where HMRC perform strongly.

One of the first outputs from this programme of work is an international tax benchmarking study, which compares HMRC's operational performance to nine other international tax administrations.
