• your official identification (for example, your HMRC ID card)

• a pad of forms 55 (and/or other suitable material)

• envelopes.

In addition, you may find it useful to carry

• a calculator

• a map or street-map of the area you are visiting

Where your call itinerary includes employer customers you could carry some PAYE/NIC literature (for example, the four Employer's Help Books - E10 to E13).

For your personal safety and comfort

• take as many of the safety and protective clothing items you consider necessary

• wear comfortable shoes, especially if you know you will have a lot of walking to do

• carry a mobile telephone (this will also allow you to contact the office in order to process a payment by debit card).
