Appy days

HMRC says 2024 has been the most successful year for the HMRC app to date, with 2 million more people now able to check their tax codes, view annual tax summaries and make or receive secure payments – all with just a few taps.

Since its launch in December 2017, more than 7 million people have downloaded the app, and successfully logged in to access their tax information.

Many people are choosing the HMRC app to ‘get on it’ with their money and tax as they start their day with 09:00 to 09:59 the most popular time for customer logins. Over the past 12 months, the increased use of the HMRC app has resulted in:

  • More than 100 million app sessions.
  • More than 2 million new users this year.
  • £652 million received in Self Assessment payments.
  • 77% increase in app downloads in 16-25 age group.
  • Consistently in top spot in the app finance charts.

HMRC is encouraging anyone not already using the free and secure HMRC app to download it from the App Store or Google Play today. People can access their personal tax information whenever or wherever they need it and even save their National Insurance number to their digital wallet.
