SAM50520 - Digital services: digital outputs

In order to encourage more digital interaction, HMRC are sending additional digital correspondence such as e-mail reminders, to customers who have 바카라 사이트˜opted in바카라 사이트™ and have supplied their e-mail address.

To enable customers to verify that the e-mail is genuine, HMRC e-mails will include the departmental logo and the customer바카라 사이트™s full name, and only contain a general reminder to take action, for example, file a return or pay an outstanding amount of tax, or a notification about a change or event, for example, that a payment has been made. The customer would then access his online account to obtain more detail.

Emails from HMRC will never contain

  • Financial information such as details of outstanding payments or tax refunds
  • Active links to the customers accounts, log-on pages or i-forms
  • Active links to sites outside HMRC or Gov.uk
  • Any attachments

When digital outputs have been issued, the customers바카라 사이트™ record will show, for example, that a statement has been issued, but will not show whether the statement has been issued on paper or digitally.

The table below shows when outputs became available digitally

Date Form Form number

30 July 2014 Exit letter SA251
01 September 2014 Repayment notification R1000(CS)

18 February 2015 Penalty letters SA326D, SA328D, SA370, SA372-30, SA372-60

Note: In December 2014, no paper reminders to file or pay outstanding tax (forms SA309A, SA309C and SA309E) were issued. Customers who had 바카라 사이트˜opted-in바카라 사이트™ received digital reminders and additionally, e-mail reminders were issued to unrepresented customers who had filed previous returns online.

Non-delivery of digital output

Where a customer has opted for paperless contact, HMRC will deliver the relevant document, or `Notice to file a tax return바카라 사이트™, digitally to their secure mailbox in their Online account and, at the same time, an e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address the customer provided, to advise the customer to check their mailbox for new messages.

If the e-mail is not delivered successfully, Online Services will be notified and will re-send it. If it fails for a second time, the customer will automatically be de-registered from paperless contact and any future letters or `Notices바카라 사이트™ will be issued on paper.

In such cases, the original SA316 (Notice to file a tax return) sent to the customers secure account, is deemed as 바카라 사이트˜undelivered바카라 사이트™ and SEES letter SA3 (which advises the customer that they have been de-registered from digital contact) will be issued together with a paper SA316 (Notice to file a tax return), using function RECORD DATE OF CLERICAL ISSUE, to show

  • The date action is being taken
  • That it is a 바카라 사이트˜Not Failure to Notify바카라 사이트™ case, and
  • The tax year involved

Where the digital output was a SA316 (Notice to file a return) an SA Note will also be made which says 바카라 사이트˜Digital SA316 returned as undelivered. SA3 and SA316 issued바카라 사이트™. The customer will then be given 7 days and 3 months from the date of that action to file the return.

If the customer subsequently re-registers for digital contact and provides an up-to-date e-mail address, digital communications will recommence.

Note: Digital notices, including a Notice to file a tax return, are deemed to have been delivered when HMRC has sent an e-mail message to the customer, and posted the digital information to the customers secure mailbox, and HMRC knows, and can prove, the e-mail has not 바카라 사이트˜bounced바카라 사이트™. The customer does not have to have read the e-mail message and/or the digital content for it to have been `delivered바카라 사이트™.
