Details

This document is the original terms of collaboration, first published in July 2017. It set out how software developers and HMRC would work together to build software applications to integrate with HMRC’s systems.

This version is no longer being updated, but is here to give background information. Within it:

• Annex A details the relevant legislation, security standards and best practice to keep customer data safe
• Annex B sets out the process that HMRC and software developers follow to resolve disputes and operational issues
• Annex C applies to the Making Tax Digital for Business reforms, where a software developer chooses to provide free software applications for businesses

Use the new version, now known as the Terms of Use, to keep up to date about relevant legislation, recognised security standards and best practice on how to manage and keep customer data secure.
