Self-assessment: Powers of Attorney
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will allow people with power of attorney to use HMRC's free online system to manage their donor's self assessment tax return.
- Answer
-
HMRC are taking a digital-first approach to improving the experience for their customers, providing more digital and online services.
People with lasting power of attorney (LPA) are able to file online Self Assessment returns using the HMRC free online service, as long as they can provide the relevant verification documents. This approach ensures HMRC can verify the identity of the individual and safeguard potentially vulnerable customers.
