With summer fast approaching, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are encouraging young people finishing school, college or university to download the HMRC app to support them as they move into temporary work. Over 1.2 million users aged 25 and under have already downloaded the app, so if you’re looking for work, the app could be beneficial.

New users can register with photo ID, UK passport or driving licence, but the users must never share their Government Gateway Login to prevent fraud.
The HMRC app is not just a tool; it is an essential job-readiness measure for a successful summer.
