HMRC initiative in time of need.
A new HMRC helpline will provide fast, practical help and advice on a range of tax problems that taxpayers affected by the recent severe weather may be facing.
HMRC will:
- agree instalment arrangements where taxpayers are unable to pay as a result of the floods;
- agree a practical approach when individuals and businesses have lost vital records to the floods;
- suspend debt collection proceedings for those affected by the floods; and
- cancel penalties when the taxpayer has missed statutory deadlines.
The helpline is: 0800 904 7900.
