Details

The objectives of the research were:

  • to explore the needs, attitudes and likely behaviours of different customer audiences towards HMRC offering digital services
  • to develop, refine and test statements/messages for different audiences
  • to identify the most appropriate channels to reach each customer group, including social media
  • explore customer reactions to ‘rationalised’ communications

The report outlines the findings from qualitative research speaking to a broad range of customers including PAYE customers, Self Assessment customers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), customers requiring digital help (assisted digital), pensioners and agents.
