HMRC has been busy promoting the benefits of using its app. A new advertising campaign launched by HMRC is targeted at 18 to 34 year olds and showcases how the app can help them with their tax affairs and finances.

HMRC’s free tax app is available to download from the App Store for iOS and from the Google Play Store for Android. The latest version of the app includes updated functionality.

HMRC has recently reported that more than 1.7 million people are already using the HMRC app every month. Users of the app can access services such as making a Child Benefit claim, finding their National Insurance number and a tax calculator to estimate their take-home pay.

Between July and September 2024, 711,382 new users downloaded the app, and there was a 39% increase in app activity compared to the same period last year – up from 20.93 million sessions to 29.22 million. And nearly £300 million has been paid to HMRC via the app so far this financial year.

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.’
