Gov Uk Content

Fetch the full rendered content and metadata of any single GOV.UK page from its base_path — guidance, a policy paper, an organisation page, a departmental manual or one section of one. Returns title, description, body, publication and last-updated timestamps, and the page's links. Use gov_uk_search or hmrc_manual_search first when you do not already know the base_path.

Read what HMRC most recently changed in one of its internal manuals — the per-section revision log the department publishes with each manual, newest first. Each entry carries the section id and title, HMRC's own note of what changed ("Updated for change in legislation for intermediaries", "Page withdrawn"), its published_at and age_days. Use it to tell whether HMRC's stated position on a topic has moved, to audit a manual's freshness, or to watch a specific area of UK tax guidance for revisions.

Find the section of an HMRC internal manual that answers a UK tax question asked in plain words — salary sacrifice, benefits in kind, travel and subsistence expenses, termination payments, share schemes, residence and domicile, capital gains reliefs, VAT liability, IR35 and off-payroll working, pension annual allowance, inheritance tax reliefs, penalties and compliance. This is HMRC's own working interpretation of the UK tax code, section by section, and it is the level at which UK tax questions are actually answered. Returns each matching section with its manual, its section id (EIM42750, CG12345 and the like), its URL, its published_at date and age_days. Narrow to one manual with the manual argument. Retrieve the full text of a hit with hmrc_manual_section.

Retrieve the full text of one section of an HMRC internal manual (or another UK departmental manual), by its base_path or by manual plus section id such as EIM42750. Returns the section title, its text, its place in the manual's structure, whether it has been withdrawn, and its published_at / source_last_modified with age_days so you can tell how current HMRC's stated position is.

List HM Revenue & Customs internal manuals and other UK departmental manuals — the guidance HMRC caseworkers and other officials actually apply, published in full. Covers income tax, PAYE, employment income, capital gains, corporation tax, VAT, inheritance tax, pensions, stamp duty, national insurance, trusts, residence and domicile, double taxation, compliance and penalties, plus non-HMRC manuals from other departments. Use this to see what manuals exist and their base_paths, then hmrc_manual_search to find the section that answers a question.

List GOV.UK government organisations (departments, agencies, etc.) with title, URL path, acronym, and operational state, paginated via start and count (default 20, max 100 per page).

Search everything published on GOV.UK — guidance, forms, statistics, consultations, news, policy papers and departmental manuals — by free text, optionally narrowed to one document format. Returns titles, URL paths and publication timestamps.

Fetch a GOV.UK taxonomy tree node by base_path (defaults to root "/"), returning the taxon's title, description, phase, links to child taxons, and associated content items.
