💸 Struggling with tax bills? HMRC is stepping up to ease the burden with a whopping £11m funding boost! Over the next three years, this cash injection will help charities and community groups provide free advice and support to those grappling with their tax commitments. 💪
This new funding is more than double the previous amount and aims to make it easier for people, especially those in complex situations or lacking digital access, to engage with HMRC services. 🌐
From April 2027, successful organisations will work alongside HMRC’s Extra Support Team, offering guidance on managing tax affairs, accessing digital services, and claiming benefits. The application window is open until July 3, 2026- don’t miss out! 📅
In the past year alone, these grant-funded groups have helped over 43,000 individuals, including self-employed hero Elena from south-east England. Battling personal hardships, she found herself falling behind on tax obligations. With the help of a volunteer adviser, she got back on track, even managing to get significant penalties and interest waived! 🙌
Dan Tomlinson, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, shared his excitement about this initiative: “This funding means those struggling with their tax affairs can get the help they need to make a real difference in their situation.”
Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Chief Customer Officer, emphasised the goal of simplifying tax processes and ensuring support is there when needed most. Successful organisations receiving this funding will be announced later this year, so stay tuned! 📣
If you or someone you know needs a helping hand with taxes, this is a significant opportunity to get back on track. Spread the word and don’t let this chance slip by! 💬 #HMRCSupport #TaxHelp #CommunitySupport
