The HMRC website does not readily offer office locations, preferring to direct people towards telephone and email contact in the first instance.

If you’ve received correspondence about a particular issue, then any contact details will be clearly marked in the letter. Failing that here is some of the key contact information which may be of use

NB: We are not HMRC, but an independent firm of insolvency practitioners. Please contact us if you need debt advice, but if it’s a tax return related issue, you’ll need to contact HMRC directly via the details below.

How do I Find my HMRC tax Office?

If you’ve received correspondence about a particular issue, any contact information should be clearly marked on the letter in the top right hand corner.

As you can imagine from an organisation as big as HM and Revenue (almost 60,000 employees) they are extremely compartmentalized and you’ll need to contact the right department to avoid wasting a huge amount of time on the phone.

HMRC is currently part of the way through a huge downsizing from a network of 170 national offices to just 13 regional centres. They are also in a process of digital transformation which is why face to face meetings are scarcer than ever before. Always begin with a phone call, as per the numbers below, unless you’ve been summoned to a specific meeting with an HMRC employee.
