Want an easy way to stay on top of your money and taxes? Download the HMRC app today to get everything you need at your fingertips.
You can now access all the information you need through the HMRC app, whenever you need it. Let’s take a look at how it can help you.
What can you do in the HMRC app?
- Always have your National Insurance number and tax code on hand
- Use the tax calculator to work out your take-home pay after Income Tax and National Insurance deductions
- Claim a refund if you have paid too much tax
- Set payment reminders
- Manage Child Benefit, Tax Credits and State Pension
- Easily update your personal information, e.g. your address or bank details
- Use the digital assistant for guidance and support.
And that’s not all! These are just some of the most popular features – there’s so much that can help you manage your finances.
Why do you need to know this information now, and how does the HMRC app help?
Whatever your age or stage in life, you’ll need your personal tax information – whether you’re applying for jobs, taking out a student loan, applying for benefits or setting up a pension.
Just before you turn 16, you’ll receive a letter with your unique National Insurance (NI) number. It links to so many things, including what we just mentioned above, so it’s important that you keep it safe.
If you lose track of this information, getting it from HMRC by post could take up to 15 days. Instead, you can now securely access your NI number in the HMRC app and save it to your phone wallet, along with other tax information.
Get Employment Information Fast!
You might not think you need all of the HMRC app features now, but over time, you’ll need to access details like your tax code, employment history, state pension or Self Assessment records. It’s a useful tool to have on hand.
