Dealing with tax credits for someone else

Skip contents

Authorisation

You must be authorised to talk to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) about someone else바카라 사이트™s tax credits. If you바카라 사이트™re not, every time you call that person must first confirm their identity and say they바카라 사이트™re happy for you to act for them.

Get authorised

Send form TC689 to HMRC. This must be signed by the person (or persons if it바카라 사이트™s a joint claim) you바카라 사이트™re representing.

The authorisation lasts 12 months unless a different end date is put on the form. It usually takes 2 days to get authorised from when your form is received but can take longer if you send a letter instead of form TC689. Usually, you will not get a letter confirming your authorisation.

More than one person can be authorised but each one must send a TC689 form.

Tax credits will not be paid into your account unless you바카라 사이트™re the appointee.
