In an update to its guidance Claim a refund of Income Tax deducted from savings and investments (R40), HMRC have confirmed that it will accept a digital signature on the R40 print and post form. While that statement appears somewhat counter-intuitive, it means that the form can be signed on screen before being printed out, or that a signature displayed in a ‘keyboard-typed font’ will be accepted. A new section on claiming tax back on interest paid on payment protection insurance claims has also been added.
