Once the claim for the current year is processed, there is no need to reapply every year because it remains in individuals’ tax code until they tell HMRC that their circumstances have changed or they become a higher rate taxpayer.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/06/2019 13:17:13 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
