Tax helpline for those affected by severe weather and flooding

HMRC have set up a helpline (number is 0800 904 7900) and will enable anyone affected to get practical help and advice on a wide range of tax problems they may be facing. HMRC will also:

• agree instalment arrangements where taxpayers are unable to pay as a result of the floods
• agree a practical approach when individuals and businesses have lost vital records in the floods
• suspend debt collection proceedings for those affected by the floods
• cancel penalties when the taxpayer has missed statutory deadlines.
