HMRC’s online compliance tool now live

HMRC has launched a new free online tool to help taxpayers understand tax compliance checks. The interactive compliance guidance tool provides information on for example why HMRC has requested specific information or documents how to request extra support due to health or personal circumstances how to appoint an adviser what to do if you disagree with a decision made by HMRC and how to pay a tax assessment or penalty.

Joanne Walker Low Incomes Tax Reform Group technical officer said: ‘Along with other stakeholders I have commented on and tested the interactive guidance tool at various stages and a lot of work has been put into its development. It clearly sets out the topics uses an easy-to-understand question and answer format provides clear guidance videos step-by-step explanations and links to other relevant guidance.’
