HMRC have issued guidance on how to download their app for iOS and Android phones, and then how to use it.
Once users have the app on their phones, it can be used for the following purposes (as listed by HMRC):
You can use the HMRC app to see:
- your tax code and National Insurance number
- an estimate of the tax you need to pay
- your income and benefits
- your income from work in the previous 5 years
- how much you will receive in tax credits and when they will be paid
- your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) for Self Assessment
- how much Self Assessment tax you owe
You can also use it to:
- make a Self Assessment payment
- report tax credits changes and complete your renewal
- access your Help to Save account
- use our tax calculator to work out your take home pay after Income Tax and National Insurance deductions
- track forms and letters you have sent to us
- claim a refund if you have paid too much tax
- update your postal address
