HMRC has launched a new one-stop online shop designed to provide taxpayers with
information on the tax reliefs and financial help available from HMRC.
In a new section of the GOV.UK website, HMRC has listed financial support
available to ensure individuals are not missing out. There is guidance on relief
for childcare and work-related expenses, as well as information about savings
and getting help if you cannot pay your tax bill.
The shop is designed to make it easier than ever for taxpayers to claim the
benefits, credits and allowances they are entitled to. HMRC has provided online
guidance and tools to permit people to check if they are eligible for each
relief.
Myrtle Lloyd, Director General for Customer Services at HMRC, said:
'We understand these are very difficult times for many so it's vitally
important we continue to highlight the range of support available.
'We'd encourage those who think they may be eligible for support to take a
look and claim what they're entitled to – it could make an important
difference to household budgets at a time when it's needed the most.'
