The deal between Accenture and HMRC has been extended until 2020 and will be responsible for developing, implementing and keeping a secure cloud-hosted tax system for the National Insurance and PAYE Service.

The value of the contract has not been agreed yet as it will depend on “task orders and work draw-downs by the client over the coming years”, according to an Accenture statement given to Public Technology.
