A free HMRC tax app is available to taxpayers.

The APP can be used to see:

• your tax code and National Insurance number
• an estimate of the tax you need to pay
• your income and benefits
• up to 12 future tax credits payments
• your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) for Self-Assessment

The APP can also be used to complete a number of tasks that usually require the user to be logged on to a computer.

This includes:

• renew your tax credits
• access your Help to Save account
• using HMRC’s tax calculator to work out your take home pay after Income Tax and National Insurance deductions
• track forms and letters sent to HMRC
• get 6-digit access codes to make your HMRC accounts more secure
• claim a refund if you’ve paid too much tax
• update your postal address
• tell HMRC about changes that might affect your tax credits

The APP is available to download on an iPhone or any compatible android style smartphone.
