40 jobs to go at Keighley and Skipton local tax office.
More than 40 tax office jobs in Keighley and Skipton are to be axed under plans to close another 130 offices nationally.
The Keighley office in Worth House has 16 staff, with 28 affected at Cavendish House, Skipton.
Remaining staff at the two offices, which have already been scaled down, will leave by April 2011. They have been given until February 8 to choose between voluntary redundancy or to be considered for redeployment.
More than 20000 jobs have been axed since 2006, while over the same time HMRC had effectively written off £11bn in uncollected tax
Total losses = 40
