Gender Trust: "A timely booklet"

Gay Financial News: HM Revenue & Customs has released a tax guide aimed specifically at gay, lesbian and transgender taxpayers.
By : Nigel Robinson

LGBT tax guide is launched

The guide includes advice on tax and benefits for people in civil partnerships, as well as providing information on how to change one’s gender on tax records.

The guide was produced after two years of consultation with LGBT visitors to Pride events across the country.

In a foreword, Mike Eland, the Director General of HM Revenue & Customs says:

“Part of the HM Revenue & Customs vision is to provide a continuously improving customer service. This includes understanding the individual needs of our very different customers.

“We are aware, for example, that the needs of transgender customers could be handled better and we’re looking at how we might achieve this. We also want to provide our customers with the information they need to get things right.”

Gay rights group Stonewall welcomed the publication of the guide, and Ben Thom of the Gender Trust said:

“In relation to tax and national insurance contributions trans people often of necessity need to reveal their trans status to HMRC.

“It is very important that trans people can be open about their trans status and not encounter discrimination. This timely booklet goes a long way to establishing the trust and confidence from the trans community that all government departments require.”
