Do one thing – get the HMRC app
HMRC is encouraging anyone who hasn’t yet downloaded their free and secure HMRC app, to “do one thing and get on it today”.
As part of a major advertising campaign, HMRC are urging all taxpayers to “Do One Thing” and get on the HMRC app to save time and simplify managing their money and tax.
More than 1.7 million people are already using the HMRC app every month, which enables users to access services such as making a Child Benefit claim, finding their National Insurance number and a tax calculator to estimate their take-home pay.
Rated as one of the UK’s top-rated finance apps, the most popular features used on the app between July and September this year were:
• Check State Pension contributions– 1.9 million sessions
• Manage Child Benefit – 1.6 million sessions
• View annual tax summaries – 1.4 million sessions
Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Director General for Customer Services, said:
“One of the main priorities for HMRC is improving its customer services and this incredibly useful and user-friendly app is a great example of how tax can be made much easier for people.
Whether you’re a student looking for your National Insurance number or a new parent wanting to claim Child Benefit, the HMRC app has a range of tools for you, at your fingertips. I urge everyone to download it today”.
The HMRC app is rated 4.7/5 and 4.8/5 respectively on the Google Play and Apple Store and ranks among both of their top 10 finance apps.
