HMRC are set to introduce enhanced functionality to their toolkits as part of the department’s annual maintenance cycle to review and refresh content.
The move follows requests by tax agents for means to complete the checklist section for a client and then have the option to save it electronically or print it.
The first two toolkits to be upgraded will be those that cover expenses and benefits from employment and National Insurance contributions and statutory payments. Both are due to be published on 6 April.

A series of workshops and an online survey run recently by the taxman found that users were largely happy with the toolkits, which gave reassurance to two thirds of respondents and helped them identify potential errors. Only 3% claimed there were no benefits.
One of the most common complaints concerned the time-consuming nature of the toolkits. The Revenue has responded by recommending that agents use the offerings online, where hyperlinks offer quick access to further guidance, rather than printing required content.
