More than £11 million in funding has been made available to taxpayers struggling with their tax affairs.
The doubling of funding comes as part of HMRC’s Voluntary and Community Sector Grant Funding Scheme. The funds will be available for organisations to help customers with their tax affairs.
From 8 June, organisations can submit bids for the funding, which is available for voluntary and community sector organisations to provide specialist advice and support to HMRC customers who may need extra help with their tax affairs, interacting with its digital services or claiming entitlements.
Dan Tomlinson, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said:
‘I’m delighted to build on our commitment to customers who need the most support and make this latest round of funding available for our partners in the voluntary sector who provide invaluable assistance to them.
‘This funding means customers, who may be struggling with their tax affairs, are able to get the help they need to make a real difference to their situation.’
