Appoint someone to deal with HMRC on your behalf
Authorise someone to deal with HMRC for you
You can arrange for an ‘intermediary’ to deal with HMRC for you. This could be a friend, relative or a voluntary organisation.
You might do this if you’re ill, have a disability or do not speak English.
An intermediary can:
- talk to HMRC and answer any questions on your behalf
- help you to fill in forms
An intermediary will not have access to your tax online.
To authorise an intermediary to help deal with your tax, write to HMRC.

- your tax reference number, for example your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR)
- the name and address of the person or organisation you want to authorise

If you cannot sign the letter, you’ll need to contact the relevant department at HMRC or get someone to do it for you.
