HMRC is looking for third, voluntary and community sector organisations to support them in helping customers they currently find hardest to reach, who cannot interact directly with them or need extra support in doing so. They have a new funding programme to help support this work.

HMRC has secured £5.5 million for a 3 year programme, running April 2024 – March 2027 (£1.835 million per year). The programme will fund third, voluntary and community sector organisations to provide advice and support to HMRC customers who need extra help in understanding and complying with their tax obligations and claiming their entitlements (including those who are digitally excluded).

HMRC is inviting bids for funding of £30,000 – £600,000 per year, with a maximum threshold set at 50% of your organisation’s turnover (per the last audited accounts).

The deadline for application bids is 11:59pm on Monday 21^st August 2023.
