Lengthy negotiations held since the merger of the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise to form HM Revenue and Customs in April 2005 have resulted in a pay agreement of a 12% growth in earnings from 2005 to 2008, with a 3.15% increase to earnings in the first year.
The deal, accepted by members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) and the Association of Revenue and Customs (ARC), will implement arrangements for pay, grading, allowances, performance management and leave over the three-year period, although existing staff have the choice to retain their current arrangements or delay their decision to opt in to the new terms.
