Frequently Asked Questions About HMRC Charges

What is HMRC on my bank statement?

HMRC is listed in the Government category. HMRC is the UK tax authority, and an entry on your statement can be either a payment you make or a refund you receive. Payments cover Self Assessment, VAT, PAYE, National Insurance or other tax, while credits may be tax rebates or Child Benefit. Look for HMRC, HM REVENUE or GOV.UK, and be wary of scams impersonating HMRC by text or email. It may appear on your bank statement under a shortened descriptor rather than its full name.

How do I cancel HMRC?

If this is a recurring payment you no longer want, log in to your HMRC account and cancel it in your account settings before the next billing date. If you recognise the merchant but have a question about the charge, contact HMRC directly using the details on this page. If you do not recognise this entry, contact your bank or card issuer and ask them to confirm the transaction and merchant details. Only you and your bank can confirm whether a payment was authorised.

Why does HMRC appear on my statement with a different name?

Banks display a short "transaction descriptor" set by the merchant's payment processor, not the company's full trading name. This is why HMRC may appear as an abbreviation or code. The descriptor is usually the company's registered payment name, which can differ from the brand name you recognise.
