If you find it difficult to deal with HMRC yourself you can appoint someone to deal with HMRC for you.

You’ll need to check if you can get help from the Extra Support Team before you can contact them. Have your National Insurance number with you before you start.

The Extra Support Team can only help you with questions about:

  • PAYE
  • Self Assessment

Contact HMRC using another helpline if:

  • your question is about something else
  • you do not need extra support because of your condition or circumstances
