These forms are run by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). We want as many people as possible to be able to use this form. This means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- get from the start of the forms to the end using just a keyboard
- get from the start of the forms to the end using speech recognition software
- listen to the forms using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We have also made the text in these forms as simple as possible to understand.
