Tax helpline to support people affected by severe weather and flooding

The helpline allows anyone affected to get practical help and advice on a wide range of tax problems they may be facing.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will also:

• agree installment arrangements where taxpayers are unable to pay as a result of severe weather or flooding
• agree a practical approach when individuals and businesses have lost vital records as a result of severe weather or flooding
• suspend debt collection proceedings for those affected by severe weather or flooding
• cancel penalties when the taxpayer has missed statutory deadlines

The helpline is in addition to other HMRC telephone contact numbers.
