What is an HMRC Tax Investigation?

An HMRC tax investigation is a review carried out by HM Revenue and Customs to check if individuals or businesses have paid the correct amount of tax and complied with tax laws. It involves examining financial records and tax returns to identify any discrepancies or non-compliance issues. They request information such as tax payments, accounts, tax returns, PAYE records (for employers), and VAT returns (if registered) via letter or call.

Do I have to notify HMRC of savings interest?

You don’t need to notify HMRC of savings interest if it falls within tax-free allowances, like Personal Allowance and Personal Savings Allowance. The Starting Rate for Savings may also apply. If your interest exceeds these limits, you may need to report it through Self Assessment or have your tax code adjusted automatically if employed. Reclaim tax on savings interest paid below the allowance within 4 years of the relevant tax year through a Self-Assessment Tax Return or form R40.

How to contact HMRC?

You can directly contact HMRC, call their helpline at 0300 200 3300 or contact them on their official website: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs.

Their official postal address: HM Revenue & Customs, PO Box 4000, CARDIFF, CF14 8HR.

Can I get a copy of my p60 from HMRC?

You can request a copy of your P60 from HMRC if you need one. However, you need to contact your employer or former employer first, as they are responsible for providing you with the P60. If your employer is unable to provide a copy or if you have any issues, you can contact HMRC directly for assistance. They will guide you on the necessary steps to obtain a copy of your P60.

On the 6th of April 2013, the statutory Residence Test was introduced by HMRC to determine the residence status of individuals with connections to the UK. In a globalized world where people frequently move across borders for work, family, or personal reasons, understanding one’s tax residence status is essential. The SRT was created to clarify and consistently define an individual’s tax residence in the UK.

Let Property Campaign

The Let Property Campaign (LPC) is an initiative by HMRC to help landlords resolve any past tax issues related to their rental income.
