Interactive online tool for tax compliance check

HMRC’s new Q&A tool guides you through each step of a compliance check.

The free interactive online tool is designed to help individuals and businesses better understand what happens during a tax compliance check. Available on GOV.UK, the Interactive Compliance Guidance tool brings together key guidance and video content in one place, making it easier to navigate the process.

The tool explains:

  • What an HMRC compliance check is.
  • Why certain information or documents are requested.
  • How to get extra support due to personal or health issues.
  • How to appoint someone to act on your behalf.
  • What to do if you disagree with HMRC’s decision.
  • How to pay a tax assessment or penalty.

It uses a simple question and answer format with clear guidance videos, step-by-step explanations and links to other relevant guidance. The tool was developed with input from stakeholders like the Low Incomes Tax Reform Group to ensure it meets the needs of unrepresented and vulnerable taxpayers.

This guidance supports the government’s Plan for Change, aiming to improve taxpayer confidence, simplify access to information, and promote economic growth. The guidance and interactive tools are intended solely for informational purposes. Using them does not result in tax registration and HMRC does not collect or store any user information.
