HMRC has launched a new free online Interactive Compliance Guidance tool to help businesses and individuals understand HMRC compliance checks. It provides information and support about compliance checks, as well as other tax related issues commonly encountered which need to be resolved with HMRC.
Features of the Compliance Guidance Tool
The Interactive Compliance Guidance tool available on GOV.UK provides information to help taxpayers understand:
- HMRC compliance checks
- Why HMRC has requested specific information or documents
- How to request extra support due to health or personal circumstances
- How to appoint someone to act on your behalf
- What to do if you disagree with a decision made by HMRC
- How to pay a tax assessment or penalty.
It brings together existing compliance guidance and videos in one place, making it easier to find and navigate the appropriate information.
Other HMRC interactive tools
This is one of several interactive tools that HMRC has launched, including the VAT Registration Estimator, which enables any business to see what registering for VAT could mean, as well as linking to further information about the registration process.
