If something is wrong, we want to correct it clearly and promptly. Tell us which page you are concerned about, what appears wrong and—if possible—the official source that supports the correction.
What happens next
- Locate the exact claim. We identify the page, version, applicable period and evidence record.
- Check the primary authority. We compare the claim with legislation, HMRC or another appropriate official source.
- Assess the effect. We decide whether the issue is minor, material or urgent.
- Correct and record. We update the affected content and add a public summary where the change affects meaning.
- Re-verify before publication. Material and urgent corrections invalidate the prior source-verification state and tax-critical content returns to draft until checked again.
Correction levels
Minor
A spelling, presentation or clarity change that does not alter the tax meaning, calculation or recommended action.
Material
A rate, threshold, deadline, scope, example, conclusion or omission that could change a reasonable reader’s understanding or action.
Urgent
A material issue with immediate potential for significant harm or an imminent deadline. The affected content can be withdrawn while the correction is completed.
Not a correction
A change in the law after the stated applicable period is normally an update or a new version, not evidence that the earlier period was described incorrectly.
Public correction history
Where a correction changes meaning, the affected page shows the correction date, a concise summary and a supporting source when one is available. Entries are append-only so a later edit does not silently erase the record of an earlier material change.
