About this source
His Majesty's Revenue and Customs is the UK's tax and customs authority. HMRC publications include guidance manuals, Revenue and Customs Briefs, consultation responses, Spotlight warnings on tax avoidance schemes, and the monthly tax receipts and National Insurance statistics. Around 115 publications a month. Spotlight notices in particular name specific avoidance schemes and put taxpayers on notice that participation may be challenged. Watch this if you advise UK taxpayers, manage transfer pricing for a multinational, follow R&D tax credit scheme reform, or track HMRC's positions on crypto assets, employment status, and disguised remuneration.
What changed
HMRC published its App Privacy Notice on 23 April 2026, providing guidance on how personal data is collected, used, and shared when users access HMRC services through the dedicated mobile application on iOS or Android devices, or via the HMRC website. The notice also covers how other organisations may access and use this data.
For individuals using the HMRC App, this guidance confirms the scope of data processing activities and advises users to consult the broader HMRC privacy notice for additional context. Organisations that integrate with or receive data from HMRC should review their own privacy notices to ensure consistency with HMRC's stated practices. No new compliance obligations are created beyond existing data protection requirements.
