The Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005

This act became law on 7 April 2005 and created Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs by integrating the Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise.

It replaced the previous terms for describing staff who were empowered to exercise the functions of the predecessor departments, e.g. inspectors, collectors, receivers, authorised persons, officers of the Board of Inland Revenue, etc., with the description of “officers of Revenue and Customs”.

The Act applies to both GB and NI.
