Reduced charges for calling HMRC
HMRC recently announced plans to move away from 0845 numbers to 03 numbers. 03 numbers are non-geographic but are usually charged at the same rates as 01 and 02 numbers and are free with some telephone packages.
With immediate effect the following helplines have been changed to 03 numbers
- Trusts and Deceased Estates Helpline 0300 123 1072
- Probate and Inheritance Helpline 0300 123 1072
- Charities and Sports Clubs (CASCs) 0300 123 1073
- Employer Stationery and Forms Ordering 0300 123 1074
- Excise Movement Control System Helpline 0300 123 1075
- Help and Support for Businesses 0300 123 1083
- Shares and Assets Valuation Helpline 0300 123 1082
The existing 0845 numbers will continue to work for around 18 months. Other 0845 numbers will change in the coming months as part of a rolling program to give customers cheaper access to HMRC helplines.
