Generic Standards Clause Samples

Generic Standards. For the purposes of the Programme, suppliers will be expected to: apply the spirit of the HMRC complaints handling process; manage complaints within the same timescales as those expected of HMRC; enable escalation of unresolved complaints; provide customers with details of their complaints handling policy on receipt of a complaint. This should include details of the escalation route for unresolved complaints; and provide a named contact for managing complaints. HMRC definition of a Complaint ‘Resolved at initial contact' should be interpreted as meaning that the matter can be sorted out quickly and informally with the customer, usually at the point of contact.

The Adjudicator is a fair and unbiased referee, independent of HMRC. If the customer is still unhappy with HMRC's or the Adjudicator's handling of the complaint, they can ask any MP to refer their case to the Parliamentary Ombudsman. HMRC are keen to help if there are complaints and will deal with customers in a friendly and professional way. We will: treat the complaint seriously and keep it confidential not treat the customer differently from other people just because they’ve made a complaint not discriminate against them for any reason Service is the way in which customers are dealt with, e.g. through courteous and timely communication. It is very important that suppliers und...
