Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to fully digitise the processing of A1 (CA3837) documents for UK self-employed workers in the music industry temporarily working in Europe, including the issuing of such documents.

In response to customer feedback, HMRC introduced a new online version of the form CA3837 in June 2023, which was designed to streamline the application process, offering a number of enhancements and providing additional guidance for more complex questions.

HMRC intend to automate the CA3837 application process in the Autumn which will improve processing times and remove opportunities for error.
