    Please consider signing this e-petition:

    Click this link to sign the petition:
    https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/105271/sponsors/AXjXYqX7dZDCruJTx4Wp


    HMRC change their helpline numbers from starting with 03 to starting with 0800.
    1. Making a call to HMRC can be costly and often callers have spent money only to be cut off. 2. Tax payers should not be forced to pay for help from a government service for which they already pay. Therefore, HMRC should change their helpline numbers from starting with 0300 to starting with 0800.

    NB: This may be costly for some mobile users, but increasingly 0800 number are free from Mobile providers.

    I'm confused - when I click that link I can't see anything showing the wording of the petition - I could be signing to support absolutely anything ?

    Can you provide a source to support the assertion that the helpline numbers will be changing ? They appear to be 0300 numbers at present and most government departments are currently in the process of changing their 0845 numbers to 0345, so this seems rather a retrograde step if true.
