Be warned, there are some scummy people who have set up fake HMRC phone lines that aim to make a profit on connecting the hapless caller to a real HMRC phone line.
As per Low Incomes Tax Reform Group:
"We have recently noticed an 0844 ‘HMRC helpline’ number being advertised on the internet, which is not a real HMRC helpline number. Calling it will get you through to HMRC – but possibly at an inflated price. We urge caution for anyone searching for HMRC numbers online and recommend once again that the Government consider introducing a kitemark to identify genuine Government websites and numbers."It's bad enough ringing the right number, without having some scumbag putting himself in the middle and trying to make money out of a phone call.
Tax does have to be taxing.

That explains something. A while ago on hmrc's twitter, a "customer" tweeted a screenshot of their phone screen showing them having been queuing on sa helpline for 45 minutes. The number they had called started with 0844.
