Key Features and Updates for 2025
Our clients at Pie Tax are loving the updates to the HMRC app this year!
One of the biggest perks they mention is being able to check and update their tax code and income details right in the app—perfect for when their income or job situation changes.
The ability to file Self Assessment returns directly through the app is another game-changer. Instead of scrambling with paperwork, clients can now handle everything from their phone.
Plus, the National Insurance tracking feature means they can easily see their contributions without having to dig around for records.
For those who receive tax credits or Child Benefit, the app keeps things simple. Renewals can be done in-app, no extra logins needed.
And the State Pension forecast feature is a favourite too, helping clients keep an eye on their retirement contributions and check for any gaps.
Using the App for Self Assessment
For our clients filing a Self Assessment, the HMRC app makes it a breeze!
It walks you through each step of submitting your return, making the process as straightforward as possible. No more digging around for forms—the app lets you complete your return and keeps it all in one place.
The app’s payment options are also a huge plus. You can securely transfer money directly through the app, which means no extra bank logins or separate payments to manage. Plus, it’s designed with accessibility in mind, so every taxpayer can use it confidently.
And here’s a tip: set up reminders in the app. Clients have found that the built-in notifications are great for keeping track of key dates, like the Self Assessment deadline, so there’s no last-minute rush.
With features like these, the HMRC app really takes the hassle out of Self Assessment!
