As tens of thousands of people prepare to start seasonal jobs this December, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has shared an easy way for new employees to save time finding details they need to pass on to their employer, which could in turn speed up the payment process this Christmas.
In the 12 months up to October 2022, HMRC received almost three million calls from people asking for information that is now readily available on its official app, with more than 340,000 using it to access employment and income information since July 2022.
New functions and capability mean that customers can access their income and employment history, salary information, National Insurance number or tax code via the HMRC app, whenever they need it. The information can be downloaded and printed, so there is no need to call HMRC to ask for it to be sent in the post, which makes the whole process much quicker.
