About Tax Help for Older People
Tax Help for Older People is a free service providing confidential, independent and expert help and advice on personal tax issues for older people on lower incomes. With over 450 volunteers and a national helpline, it doesn’t matter where you live. If your tax query is straightforward, we can usually deal with it by phone, by post or email. For more complex matters, or if you would prefer, we can arrange a face-to-face meeting with a local volunteer tax adviser or a home visit if needed. We aim to resolve your tax issues and put your mind at rest.
