In 2014, Concentrix won a £75 million contract from the UK's tax authority,HM Revenue and Customs, to review two million tax credit claims for fraud and incorrect tax credit awards.[13]Tax credits are a form of UK social welfare benefit paid out to parents and workers on low incomes. In 2016, Concentrix was receiving heavy criticism from the cross-party parliamentary committee on welfare for incorrectly closing the claims of tens of thousands of claimants, leaving them without money for essentials.[14] A government report disclosed that of 36,000 appeals against Concentrix, 87% were upheld.[15] In September 2016, HMRC announced that it would not renew the contract, due to expire in 2017, although the Treasury has resisted calls for a full inquiry thus far.[16] As a result of Concentrix's failings, thousands of claimants were also due to receive back-payments for incorrectly stopped claims.[17] Processing the resultant case reviews cost HMRC £43 million.[18][19]
