HMRC Correspondence Address —
All Tax Letters to EC2, Not Your Home
Use our London EC2M address as your official HMRC correspondence address — for Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE and NIC correspondence. Keeps your home address off HMRC records. All HMRC mail scanned and emailed same day. From £29/year.
HMRC Correspondence Address — No More Tax Letters at Home
HMRC sends significant volumes of correspondence — Self Assessment reminders, payment demands, compliance check letters, penalty notices, PAYE coding notices, VAT assessments and general communications. Having all of this arriving at your personal home address is stressful, creates privacy concerns and means that if you’re away or change address, critical tax correspondence can be missed entirely.
As your HMRC agent, Britvex already receives copies of most HMRC correspondence relating to taxes we manage for you. But even with agent authority, some HMRC correspondence is sent directly to the taxpayer’s own address — particularly for Self Assessment, personal NIC and certain PAYE notices. Using our EC2M address as your HMRC correspondence address ensures all HMRC mail routes to us, not to your home.
We notify each HMRC department separately of your new correspondence address — there is no single HMRC address update that covers all taxes. CT, PAYE, VAT and Self Assessment each maintain separate records and each requires individual notification. We manage all of these updates simultaneously, providing confirmation once HMRC records have been updated for each tax.
For sole traders, freelancers and self-employed individuals who receive HMRC Self Assessment correspondence at home, our HMRC correspondence address service is particularly valuable — HMRC sends payment reminders, penalty notices, enquiry letters and general communications that many individuals find stressful to receive at their private home address. Routing all of this through EC2M means you receive it as a scanned email — professional, organised and accessible anywhere.

4 Mistakes to Avoid — And Why They’re Costly
HMRC agent authority (64-8) allows your accountant to act on your behalf — but some HMRC correspondence is still sent directly to the taxpayer’s own address regardless of agent authority. Using our HMRC correspondence address service ensures ALL HMRC correspondence routes to EC2M — even correspondence that bypasses agent authority.
HMRC does not have a single central address register. Each tax department — CT, PAYE, VAT, Self Assessment, NIC — maintains separate records and requires separate notification. We update all applicable departments simultaneously and confirm each update in writing.
Missed HMRC correspondence is one of the most common causes of escalating tax penalties. A compliance check letter ignored for 30 days becomes an estimated assessment; an estimated assessment ignored creates a late payment penalty. All HMRC correspondence at our EC2M address is scanned and emailed the same day — nothing is missed.
Not all HMRC correspondence carries the same urgency — a general newsletter requires no action; a compliance check letter requires a response within 30 days; a notice of intent to make a closure notice may require urgent action. We flag urgent HMRC correspondence on receipt and advise on the required response timeline.
HMRC Correspondence Address — Your Questions Answered
Yes — your Companies House registered office address and your HMRC correspondence address are entirely independent. You can use our EC2M address for HMRC only (with your registered office elsewhere), for Companies House only (with HMRC address elsewhere), or for both simultaneously. We manage each registration separately and confirm all updates.
HMRC typically processes address updates within 5-10 working days per department. Self Assessment address changes made online update faster (2-3 days); postal notifications can take 2-4 weeks. We notify HMRC electronically where possible and track all updates — providing written confirmation once each department has been updated.
All HMRC correspondence received at EC2M is scanned and emailed the same working day — meaning you receive it as quickly as if it had been delivered to your home (often faster, since home delivery happens once a day but we process mail continuously throughout the working day). Urgent items — compliance check letters, penalty notices, tribunal notices — are flagged for immediate attention and we advise on required response timelines.
As your HMRC agent (via 64-8 authority), we can respond to most HMRC correspondence on your behalf — including compliance checks, information requests and penalty appeals. This is included as part of our government liaison service. For clients requiring full HMRC representation, our government liaison service covers all HMRC interactions at a fixed annual fee.
Yes — it is particularly valuable for non-UK residents with UK tax obligations (Self Assessment for UK income, CT for UK company, VAT for UK-registered business). We provide a permanent, staffed UK address for all HMRC correspondence — ensuring that mail is received, processed and forwarded to you regardless of where you are in the world.
