HMRC are to change the postal information shown on PAYE and self assessment forms and letters, which currently show the names and addresses of tax offices.
In future, they will feature PO box addresses, with the intention of speeding up the Revenue's post-handling process.
The department has national computer systems for PAYE and self assessment, which allow the taxman to manage work nationally because taxpayer records can be worked by staff in any location.
Thus the use of tax office names and addresses on PAYE and self assessment forms and letters no longer reflects the way in which HMRC handle taxpayers’ affairs.
The change will be introduced in phases over the next year, with the first starting this month. Existing tax office names and addresses will still be used for taxpayers with more complex tax affairs.
