Labour run Natural Resources Wales facing tax bill

James Evans
  • Labour’s Cabinet Secretary has highlighted that Natural Resources Wales’ Annual Report and Accounts for 2023-24 include details of HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) investigations into NRW’s historic compliance with off-payroll working requirements, and the extent of the potential liability that maybe owed.

 Responding to the written statement from Labour’s Climate Change Minister on NRW’s Annual Report, James Evans MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Rural Affairs Minister, said: 

“It is deeply troubling that Natural Resources Wales has been under investigation by HMRC.

“What concerns me now is that the organisation may face a large tax bill that will require the Labour Government to once again, whip out the taxpayer’s cheque book to bail them out. 

“With NRW’s inability to carry out its responsibilities or balance their own books this is another serious example as to why the organisation should be broken up”.
