The UK's Tax Authority Is Turning To AI To Help Identify Fraud

HMRC signed a 10-year, £175 million deal with Quantexa to use AI for fraud detection and tax error checks.

The system will analyze HMRC data alongside other sources, with human review still required before action is taken.

HMRC says the tools will also help correct payment mistakes and support customer service.

The agreement highlights the UK government’s growing use of AI in public services and tax enforcement.
