The HMRC app can help you plan ahead for your move, here’s how…
Moving home is often a time of careful planning when it comes to all things money. The HMRC app helps you stay on top of this so you can think ahead with confidence.
These features all help you stay in control of your money if you’re planning on moving soon. Think of it as a little help with the financial prep before the moving chaos begins.
Planning to apply for a mortgage? Lenders will likely need you to provide proof of income and tax status. With the HMRC app you can:
Having these details to hand can make it a little less hassle if you’re going through the mortgage approval process – such as when calculating your income for your initial application, or discussing things with a mortgage adviser.
When moving home, it’s useful to have your National Insurance number to hand for various online services.
Having this important information ready when you need it is a quick and easy way to streamline the process of setting up new services and accounts at your new address.
There’s already stacks of paperwork involved in moving home. Why not switch to go paperless in the HMRC app so you can:
Don’t forget, you can also choose to go paperless for other government services, such as DVLA’s vehicle tax reminders – available via the Driver and vehicles account on GOV.UK
One of the most tedious moving tasks is telling everyone from utility companies to your local council that you’re moving address. The HMRC app makes updating the address on your tax records a doddle:
No waiting for letters
Change your address directly through the app once you’ve moved
No need to call HMRC
This simple step will make sure your tax records are up to date.
If you receive Child Benefit, this is particularly important so that there aren’t any delays in payments when you move into your new home.
That way you can spend less time worrying about money stuff – and get on with unpacking all those boxes once you’ve moved.
Whether you’ve already started to pack, or are just beginning to think about selling, download the HMRC app as a helping hand with your moving admin.
The app is also home to lots of features that will help you stay on top of your money and tax long after your move.
This includes things like checking your State Pension forecast, spotting any gaps in your National Insurance contributions, finding your tax code, and more.
It’s free, secure, and simple to use – no wonder more than 7 million people have already downloaded it from the App Store or Google Play.
It usually takes just a few minutes to set up.
