HMRC App

[Desley Revell]

Can anyone advise if we need to have or use this App in Australia.
If identification is required to set it up, I no longer have any UK identification such as Drivers License, UK address or Passport.

I notice on recent correspondence from HMRC that the following is printed on the reverse side of the envelope “Get on it and download the HMRC app”.

Recently I received an update from Equiniti that my Tax Code has changed to 1084L. I am assuming that the “L” means I won’t have to pay income tax.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi Desley,
You need a UK driving license. I have one so was able to download and use the app in Australia, My husband only has UK passport and was unable to register for the APP. It is quite useless though if you have already commenced pension. It doesn't give me any information about my lump sum calculations payments or lump sum calculation. I sent a message using it last October and still no reply. HMRC are no longer contactable except by phone, no fax any more, pretty bad for an "International" Department! International DWP department is equally impossible to deal with. They won't send info via messages on the APP and insist they mail it. Ours take 6 weeks to arrive, are usually incorrect and say you have 4 weeks from the date of the letter to raise any complaint about it being wrong!
If anyone has had more success I would be delighted to hear what approach they took. I need to report our lump sums and pensions received in 2025 tax year and complete a UPP determination request but can't get any of the required info from either HMRC or DWP.
Cheers Mo

Hi Desley

Its me again!! I did try to download this app when I was having trouble with all my tax affairs without success. However, I decided that it would not be of any benefit to me now.

Regarding Tax Code on my pension slips Tax Code is listed as "000NT" which I assume means zero tax but your code may be different to mine as my late husband was in Met Police.

Just keep an eye on your pension slips from Equiiniti to ensure no tax is deducted.

Regards

Valerie Young
