What is HMRC in the United Kingdom?

HMRC is an abbreviation for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

The principle responsibility of HM Revenue and Customs is the collection of taxes. They collect duties and taxes from the majority of citizens who reside in the United Kingdom.

The official HMRC address is HM Revenue and Customs, BX9 1AS, United Kingdom.

You will also need to use the correct departmental title if you post any forms or documents to them. Besides being the UK customs authority, HMRC also collect tax and payments.

The revenue helps to contribute to the public services. It also benefits people who need financial support in this country.

Even so, HM Revenue and Customs must report their spending to Parliament. That particular process is overseen and regulated by the Treasury minister.
