New protocol for contacting HMRC

11 February 2020      Amanda Darley, Head of Operations and Engagement

HMRC has contacted all universities and asked their main contacts to share this information with all staff who deal with HMRC. HMRC has issued a new protocol for communicating with them, summarised as follows:

  1. Where appropriate, you should still use the standard, established HMRC teams for specific processes and queries such as opting to tax, RTI, gift aid etc.
  2. When you have a specific query which does not relate to the 'standard' matters dealt with by specific teams, you should contact the HE/FE team email address: hfesector.wmbc@hmrc.gov.uk 
  3. You can no longer direct your query to a specific member of the HE/FE team, even if you have a Customer Compliance Manager (CCM). 
  4. All communication to the HE/FE team should be via their query template document (a new version of the template has been issued) - any queries submitted not using the template will be returned unanswered.

This protocol applies to advisers acting on your behalf as well as to university staff contacting HMRC directly.
