Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is the non-ministerial department of the UK Government responsible for the collection of taxes, the payment of some forms of state support, and the administration of regulatory regimes including the national minimum wage. Established in 2005, HMRC was formed from the merger of the Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise. Its mission is to ensure that money is available to fund the UK's public services and to support taxpayers with timely and accurate advice and services.
HMRC's responsibilities are extensive. They range from collecting income tax, VAT, and corporation tax to providing child benefits and tax credits. Notably, they are also in charge of enforcing the laws concerning the national minimum wage. HMRC employs thousands of people across the UK and uses advanced technology and data analytics to perform its duties effectively.
Understanding HMRC's role helps individuals and businesses comply with tax laws and benefit from available credits and deductions. The Pie Tax App and Expert tax assistants available on the Pie app provide personalised tax solutions to ensure compliance and maximise your benefits from HMRC services.
