Compliance check tool gets an update
If you are on the receiving end of a compliance check, you might head to HMRC’s bank of online information to find out what to do. However, this can be overwhelming. How can an updated tool help you to get the correct information for your circumstances?
The amount of information available via GOV.UK is vast. Not only does it hold published guidance aimed at taxpayers, it also has all of HMRC’s internal guidance manuals. Trying to navigate this yourself can be tricky, and it’s not hard to get lost. Worse still, you may find yourself looking at guidance regarding something that doesn’t actually relate to what you’re looking for! To assist you, HMRC has published a number of videos on its YouTube channel. It also has an online tool which is a handy way of getting to the correct video for your situation. All you need to do is answer a short series of multiple-choice questions, and you will be given the correct link to follow.
The tool has recently been improved, with the department promising a “more tailored” experience for users. This should filter out guidance that isn’t relevant to you.
