Dyscalculia

Asked by Claire HazelgroveLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 14 October 2024UIN 7256

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of (a) tax and (b) pay slip processes for individuals with dyscalculia.

Answered by James Murray

As tax and pay slip processes cover a significant range of HMRC activity, HMRC have not been able to provide a specific impact assessment for individuals with dyscalculia.

The HMRC Charter and Principles of support set out HMRC’s commitments to identifying and supporting all customers who need extra help. The need for extra help can cover a range of circumstances which could include individuals with dyscalculia.
