The tender period ended on 7th June 2019, and the contract was awarded on 19th June 2019, with the contract period extending until 8th November 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with expertise in automating financial processes and understanding business dynamics.

## Notice

This research will inform consultation on an SR19 proposal to automate set-off of tax debts in one regime (e.g. PAYE) against credits in another (e.g. VAT repayments). Interviews and focus groups will be conducted with businesses and will enable HMRC to gain an understanding of the benefits and concerns businesses may face when adopting set-off, enabling HMRC to reflect these in the design and delivery of the new system.
