I don't think HMRC use all the space at Ty Glas - I think a bunch is empty (basically derelict), and other is rented out to various low-cost occupiers like charities.
When they move to the new building they'll also probably cram people in more tightly. Many government departments have moved to hot-desking on the basis that at any one time a bunch of people are in meetings, on leave, etc. People can't leave things on 'their desk' (they don't have one) - they use lockers instead. It can be quite stressful apparently, as there are times when there aren't enough desks for everyone.
