Have you downloaded the free HMRC app yet?
Have you ever had to get in touch with HMRC to update your Child Benefit details, check your tax code or even just remind yourself of your National Insurance number for a new job?
If you have, then you’ll know that accessing this information can be a lengthy process. In fact, HMRC currently receives over 38 million calls to its phone lines each year.
That’s why we at the Early Years Alliance are pleased to be working with HMRC to spread the word about the HMRC app, a quick and easy way to manage your finances and personal tax.
You can use this secure, free-to-download app to:
- claim and manage Child Benefit payments, including checking when you've received payments, reviewing your proof of entitlement and updating bank details
- view or download your income and employment history from the past five years, and use tools like the tax calculator to estimate take-home pay
- remind yourself of their National Insurance number, and save it to your phone wallet
- check your tax code, find out if you're due any tax back from HMRC and claim a refund if you're owed one
- update HMRC on a change of address or other personal details
...and much more.
