Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown announced last week that the outgoing chairman of mobile telephone company MM02, David Varney, will head the country’s new tax department following the merger of the Inland Revenue and Customs.
“Mr Varney is an outstanding business leader with a first rate record proven across the private sector with a reputation for good management and effective delivery. I know he will have the support of the existing management and staff in the two departments," commented Brown on the appointment.
The new super-department has been christened Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, and comes into being following Brown’s acceptance of the recommendations made in a review by Gus O’Donnell, Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, to create a single integrated tax department incorporating the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise.
Mr Varney, who has been chairman of MM02 since its inception in 2001, is to take up the new post on September 1.
He observed: “This is one of the biggest delivery jobs in Government and I am very excited about the challenge of making the new department a success.
