Methods Sector Tax and Welfare

Simplifying a complex tax system and addressing disparities in contributions are ongoing concerns in the UK tax and welfare system.

There is also a need to modernise outdated IT systems for efficient administration. Rising demand for welfare support, cost-of-living pressures, and economic uncertainties strain resources, while persistent gaps in tax compliance and evasion reduce revenues. The challenge is to balance fiscal sustainability, fairness, and efficiency.

Methods helps you become more sustainable, scalable, and resilient by placing service users at the heart of new solutions. Complex policy changes are managed, and sensitive data is safeguarded, to ensure not only efficient service delivery and compliance enforcement but also equitable access and support for diverse populations.
