Key Performance Indicators
Key Performance Indicators
Revenue Scotland, as an open and transparent organisation, is committed to making much of our data available, including revenue statistics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on our performance as an organisation.
The data we release publicly are guided by the following principles:
- Protection of taxpayer information
- Transparency and accuracy
- Impartiality and objectivity
- Quality
- Co-ordination and consistency
More details about how we apply these principles to our work can be found in our Information Charter and Privacy Notice.
Revenue Scotland’s KPI’s are designed to measure the organisation’s performance against Adam Smith’s four principles of equity, certainty, convenience and efficiency.
Details of our KPIs are available in the Revenue Scotland Corporate Plan.
Quarterly KPIs
Revenue Scotland publishes quarterly Key Performance Indicators covering proportion of returns made online, payments made on time, call waiting times for the Revenue Scotland Support Desk, written communication response times, number of complaints and number of security breaches.
Quarterly KPI updates are published one quarter in arrears.

These will include direct compliance yield, proportion of returns which receive no Revenue Scotland intervention, total Revenue Scotland running costs as a percentage of money transferred to the Scottish Consolidated Fund and the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund, stakeholder feedback, value of tax liabilities identified as a result of corrections, amendments, assessments, determinations and enquires, duration of enquires, number of disputes and time to resolution, employee engagement and employee sickness absence as well as annual summaries of the quarterly measures.
The first annual KPI update will be published after April 2016.
