London, UK – February 2 2026 – SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announces that HMRC has chosen SAP to transform its core tax and revenue systems. The move supports the modernisation of HMRC’s Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP) and represents a significant investment to protect and enhance the future service to customers.
ETMP is the strategic technology backbone of HMRC’s tax accounting and payment capability. It supports over 45 tax regimes and is used daily by tens of thousands of staff to manage over £800 billion in tax revenue each year.
By moving to the cloud with RISE with SAP, HMRC will replace its legacy systems and simplify its technology landscape. This collaboration will give HMRC employees better access to analytical data and an improved user interface, which will provide greater confidence in the real time analysis and reporting. The platform will support a more responsive and transparent experience for taxpayers.
As part of its RISE with SAP deployment, HMRC will implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP’s UK Sovereign Cloud, SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP AI Capabilities.
The availability of SAP’s UK sovereign cloud capabilities for the majority of its SAP solutions provides organisations with localised cloud services tailored to specific requirements, meeting the highest standards of data residency, security and compliance, and creating a secure foundation for future innovation.
“Large-scale public systems like those delivered by HMRC must operate reliably at national scale while adapting to changing demands”, said Leila Romane, Managing Director UKI at SAP. “By modernising one of the UK’s most important platforms and hosting it on a UK sovereign cloud, we are helping to strengthen the resilience, security and sustainability of critical national infrastructure.”
The deal also supports the government’s broader AI ambitions. Together, SAP and HMRC will work on defining new AI capabilities aimed at improving taxpayer experiences, surfacing insights faster, automating processes and enhancing decision-making across tax administration.
