HMRC — explained for Turkish readers
HM Revenue and Customs, the UK tax authority. It collects income tax, National Insurance, VAT and customs duty and issues the tax documents Turkish bodies ask for.
HMRC collects the UK's taxes and administers customs, National Insurance and Child Benefit. For an individual it is the body behind PAYE, Self Assessment tax returns, the SA302 tax calculation and the National Insurance record. Unlike the Turkish system, most employees never file a return; tax is deducted by the employer and HMRC reconciles it.
The Turkish counterpart for tax is the Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığı, with customs handled separately by the Ticaret Bakanlığı; HMRC combines both. Turkish readers should note that HMRC does not issue anything like a vergi levhası. Proof of UK earnings for an SGK borçlanma file or a Turkish bank is usually an SA302, a tax year overview or the employer's P60, all of which we translate.
Coming the other way, HMRC's published guidance does not state a translation rule, but foreign income evidence such as Turkish bank statements and tax returns is normally submitted with a certified translation. See translations for HMRC.
