Calling HMRC from Ausralia

[Dawn2002]

Hi there,

 

I need to call HMRC, but I'm struggling to find an overseas contact number on their website.

 

I've found one starting with 0161, but I'm unsure if this is just a textphone number.

 

If anyone has called recently and has a number, it would really be appreciated. I really don't want to spend half hour in the phone being passed about !!!

 

Thanks All.

I called using some Skype credit. Just dialled the UK number then and had no hassles. Didn't use much either, only a few $ all up and was on hold for a fair while. Did this at my computer so I could get on with other stuff while I waited.

Scroll down and find the relevant HMRC enquiry, you will see the phone number to call if you are overseas

Thanks, I was looking at a different page and it wasn't entirely clear to me.

The number I have written down is 001144 161 931 9070, yes, I just checked that, assuming it is about self-assessment?

You are welcome! I've been submitting my returns on line for the past five or six years, no problem. Occasionally, I have had to ring them, or send a message. They are very helpful.
