Introduction
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has announced a significant funding boost aimed at assisting taxpayers who need extra support. A new £11.18 million grant scheme has been launched to fund voluntary and community organisations that help individuals navigate their tax affairs.
Key Details of the Announcement
- Increased Funding: HMRC has more than doubled its previous commitment to ensure adequate support infrastructure.
- Target Audience: The funding specifically targets those who are digitally excluded or have complex personal circumstances.
- Application Timeline: Voluntary organisations can submit bids starting this week, with applications closing on 3 July 2026. Approved grants will fund three-year programs starting in April 2027.
Why This Matters for Businesses
For corporate leaders, accountants, and HR professionals, this initiative highlights HMRC’s ongoing focus on accessibility. As digital tax transitions like Making Tax Digital (MTD) continue to expand, these funded community programmes will serve as a vital safety net for individuals struggling with the shift.
