I propose to take Questions Nos. 127 and 130 together.
Revenue’s Vote for 2018 provides for a fulltime equivalent (FTE) staffing complement of 6,114. Revenue currently has 6,129 FTE serving permanent staff. Therefore, there are no vacancies at this time. The average weekly serving FTE to date in 2018 is 6,084.
Revenue has appointed over 600 staff from open and interdepartmental competitions to date in 2018 across a range grades and areas including Audit, Tax, Accounting, Transfer Pricing, Economics, Law, Data Analytics, Information Technology, and Trade Facilitation. Revenue is currently recruiting at all levels.
Revenue fills critical posts based on business requirements across all grades and functional areas. Revenue undertakes workforce planning and recruitment as an iterative process. Recruitment plans are currently in place to fill all critical posts taking on board projected retirements and business requirements in 2019.
The tables provide the monthly FTE serving staff by division since 2016.
Revenue’s Vote for 2016 provided for a wholetime equivalent (WTE) staffing compliment of 5,924. The average weekly serving WTE to date in 2016 was 5,911.
Revenue’s Vote for 2017 provided for a wholetime equivalent (WTE) staffing compliment of 6,014. The average weekly serving WTE to date in 2017 was 6,008.
