HM Revenue & Customs has recently launched a new "Bereavement Service" to help people who are dealing with the tax affairs of someone who have died. This has been identified as one of a handful of key areas for improvement after consultations with the professional bodies and other representatives.
The service has been improved by providing
- A single point of contact for those wanting to discuss tax issues relating to the estate of someone who has died, in respect of PAYE and Self Assessment obligations. (Telephone 0845 300 0627 and select options 2, then 4 for the Bereavement Helpline)
- A new Form R27 and notes to help personal representatives finalise the tax position of the deceased.
For more information about the new service, see New HMRC Bereavement Service for PAYE and Self Assessment Customers.
