HMRC’s Tax App

A free HMRC tax app is available and offers some useful functionality. The guidance has recently been updated to highlight the fact that the app can be used to make and view self-assessment payments.

The APP can be used to see:

• your tax code and National Insurance number

• an estimate of the tax you need to pay

• your income and benefits

• how much you will receive in tax credits and when they will be paid

• your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) for self-assessment

• how much self-assessment tax do you owe

The app can also be used to complete a number of tasks that usually require the user to be logged on to a computer. This includes:

• make a self-assessment payment

• renew and report changes to your tax credits

• access your Help to Save account

• using HMRC’s tax calculator to work out your take-home pay after Income Tax and National Insurance deductions

• track forms and letters you’ve sent to us

• claim a refund if you’ve paid too much tax

• update your postal address

The app is available to download from the App Store for iOS and from the Google Play Store for Android.
