Back in 2010 the Government promised every taxpayer an annual statement of their tax position – not just the income tax and National Insurance paid, but also where the money was spent.
During October these statement will start to be sent out, see the example above.
If you’re registered for online self-assessment you’ll be able to access your statement digitally by logging on to the HMRC website in the usual format, selecting the tax summary option.
Initially the statements will only cover your tax position for 2012/2013 and at first only selected taxpayers will receive one.
Is this a positive step forward or a waste of time?
