HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has £2m funding to allocate in 2015/16 to the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) to provide advice and support to their customers who need extra help understanding and complying with their obligations and claiming their entitlements.
In May 2014, HMRC launched its new service for customers who need extra help, following a pilot in the North East of England.
HMRC is offering funding in 2015/16 for VCS organisations to complement this new service, specifically to target our hardest to reach customers or those whose relationship with HMRC has broken down, who need independent advice and support or can/will not interact with HMRC for whatever reason.
HMRC are looking for VCS organisations to help these customers to form or rebuild a relationship with HMRC that enables them to engage directly with them in the future.
You can apply for funding up to a maximum of £350,000 per bid.
