Closed petition Change the hold music for HMRC.

As of late, many more people than usual have had to call HMRC for various reasons (taxes, National Insurance, Covid-19 grants, benefits and so on). As HMRC have migrated to working from home to stem the tide of the virus, hold times have increased.

More details

As an accountant who spends on average 51 minutes per call and has to make 40+ calls per week between me and my colleagues, I implore you to change the hold music to something more bearable.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

The petitions site is closed.
