HMRC changes corporation tax correspondence
From the beginning of this month, HMRC is no longer sending corporation tax return and instalment payment reminders, interest statements, or payment receipts. From October 2024, it will no longer send the company’s appointed agent a list of issued notices to deliver a company tax return. There are also plans to trial not sending some return and payment reminders. More information is available in the August 2024 Agent Update.
