HMRC stands for His Majesty's Revenue and Customs, a UK government abbreviation.
UK tax authority, which collects income tax, National Insurance, VAT, corporation tax and customs duties, and pays child benefit. It is a non-ministerial department.
Example: HMRC sent a reminder that the self-assessment deadline is January 31.
Usage notes
It was formed in April 2005 by merging the Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise. Taxpayers manage accounts through the HMRC app and online Government Gateway. Scams impersonating it by phone, text and email are common, and it advises that it will never ask for payment in gift cards.
