When you start working with Coople, we become your legal employer. This means that we legally hire you, make National Insurance Contributions in your name, and include holiday pay and other benefits every time you work a shift.
What is the HMRC declaration?
The HMRC declaration ensures that you are put in the correct tax code and get paid the right amount. You will be prompted to provide your HMRC declaration during your registration process, and you won't be able to start working without it.
Providing your HMRC declaration only takes a few seconds, but be sure to read it thoroughly and pick the correct one. You must select one of the following three options:
This is my first job since last 6 April and I have not been receiving taxable Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance or taxable Incapacity Benefit or a state or occupational pension
This is now my only job, but since last 6 April I have had another job, or have received taxable Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance or Incapacity Benefit. I do not receive a state or occupational pension
I have another job or receive a state or occupational pension

What if I'm in the wrong tax code?
If you think you’ve been put in the wrong tax code, you'll need to contact HMRC directly to resolve the matter – we forward your declaration to HMRC, but we can't change your tax code ourselves. You can find your tax code on your payslip, and learn more on this government website.
