Free tax help

Tax Help for Older People is a service from the charity Tax Volunteers - providing free, independent and expert help and advice for older people on lower incomes who cannot afford to pay for professional tax advice. With over 450 volunteers and a national call centre, it doesn't matter where you live.

The service from Tax Volunteers is provided by expert advisers. It is jargon-free, independent and confidential. The service is mainly for those aged 60 and over but they will consider helping those approaching 60.
