HMRC Charter published 6 November 2020
HMRC has published its new Charter, alongside the Your Charter annual report: 2019 to 2020.
The Charter details what taxpayers can expect from HMRC, but also lays out what HMRC expects from its customers in return. HMRC continuously strives to improve customer service, and what the Charter does is defines the service and the behaviours that individuals should expect when dealing with HMRC.
There is also information available regarding HMRC’s principles of support for customers who need extra help, and HMRC Charter performance indicators.
The annual report compares HMRC’s performance against the Charter and discusses progress and the priorities for future improvements. The most recently published annual report covers the period from April 2019 to March 2020, and:
• Assesses HMRC’s performance against the Charter and its individual commitments. This includes independent contributions from both external stakeholders and the Adjudicator for the first time • Describes the work carried out by the Customer Experience Committee • Outlines areas of focus for the Customer Experience Committee for the coming year

RTI reporting obligations for early Christmas pay dates 12 November 2020
There are a number of employers who pay their employees earlier than usual over the festive period, if, for example, the business is shut for Christmas and New Year. Any businesses paying early need to ensure that the normal payment date is recorded on their Full Payment Submission (FPS) for December, and not the earlier pay date observed in December.
