Up to date SC Clearance would be beneficial, if not must be willing to obtain.
Digital Modernisation Service (DMS) is a multi-regime transformation initiative focused on improving digital service delivery, reducing operational risk, and enhancing customer experience.
The team grew out of successful delivery under HMRC’s Single Customer Account (SCA) programme. The programme made a series of impactful digital enhancements to improve customer experience, security, and service efficiency.
Examples include the digital Child Benefit service, new features to National Insurance numbers to digital wallets, improved digital services to help PAYE customers understand and update their income, allowances, and new outbound text messages, emails and push notifications to provide customers reassurance.
With its recent formal closure, the consensus is that SCA has been a superbly run programme that has operationally delivered beyond original expectations. The best agile practice and customer-focused improvements are now being taken forward under a new delivery model, called the Digital Modernisation Service.
The work we're delivering can be broadly grouped into:
Regime changes - service improvements for tax regimes to deliver customer service improvements and drive efficiency and compliance benefits. This covers Income Tax, Self-Assessment, VAT, Child Benefit and National Insurance
Strategic components - cross cutting improvements to our platforms, technology and communications that support our wider digital ambitions. This includes improving Account features, integrating internal systems, expanding functionality in the HMRC App and integrating AI.
