HMRC

From today millions of people will begin to receive their first annual tax statement in the post, a document that sets out exactly how much they pay in to the Exchequer and how that money is spent.

The estimated 35,000 workers receiving the Living Wage will get a boost next year when it increases by 20p/hour to £7.85/hour, it was announced today.

If you're one of the five million people who was informed they had overpaid or underpaid tax in the last financial year, you may well find another letter is on its way with a further revised calculation from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

Millions of workers face having to give money back to the Government after inadvertently paying the wrong amount of tax.

Up to 300,000 homeowners who bought a property in a "disadvantaged" area over the past decade could reclaim up to £1,500 in stamp duty, MoneySavingExpert.com can reveal. But the deadline to claim is 5 May so take urgent action.

If you're filing a self-assessment tax form before 31 January deadline, watch out for websites that'll charge you up to £1,000 when you can do it yourself for free.

If you're self-employed and haven't already filed a self-assessment tax return, do it now to avoid a hefty fine, as the deadline is fast approaching.

Shoppers looking to bag Christmas bargains overseas this year should beware import costs and taxes before they buy, HM Revenue and Customs is warning.
