Accessibility statement for Tofflo and varyn.uk
Last updated: 29 August 2026
This statement applies to the Tofflo Android app (available on Google Play as “Tofflo: MTD Tax Returns”) and to this website, varyn.uk. Both are run by Varyn Ltd.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use Tofflo and varyn.uk. For example, that means you should be able to:
- understand what a control does or what is happening from its text alternative, not just its icon or colour
- use the app and website without a time limit on reading or entering information
- rely on the fact that we never use flashing content
We have also designed the app to work with your device’s text size settings and with TalkBack, Android’s screen reader; testing with assistive technologies on a device is in progress and has not yet been completed.
We also make sure that colour is never the only way we communicate information, that you are always asked to explicitly confirm before anything is submitted to HMRC, and that navigation stays consistent throughout the app and website.
How accessible this app and website are
We know some parts of Tofflo and varyn.uk are not fully accessible. We are partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard, for the reasons set out below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons. We are working to fix these issues, with a target date of 30 September 2026, and we will update this statement as they are resolved.
- Landscape layout has not yet been verified on a physical device; the app no longer restricts orientation and every screen scrolls (WCAG 1.3.4).
- Messages shown when an operation fails (for example, when data cannot be loaded from HMRC) do not always suggest how to correct the problem, and are not always announced to screen readers (WCAG 3.3.1, 3.3.3).
- The Google sign-in button, which is supplied by Google, does not show our visible focus indicator (WCAG 2.4.7).
- Rendering of the focus indicator, keyboard and switch-access operation, screen-reader behaviour of dialogs, and text at 200% size have not yet been verified on a physical device (WCAG 2.4.7, 2.1.1, 4.1.2, 1.4.4).
Feedback and contact information
If you find any problems not listed on this page, or think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 5 working days.
If you need information from us in a different format, such as large print or plain text, contact us at the email address above and we will do our best to help.
Enforcement procedure
Varyn Ltd is a private company, not a public sector body, so the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 do not apply to us, and the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) escalation route available for public sector services does not apply either.
If you are not happy with our response to a complaint, you can contact us again using the details above and we will review it further. For our website, we also aim to meet our obligations under the Equality Act 2010, which requires reasonable adjustments to be made for disabled people.
Technical information about this website’s accessibility
This statement was prepared on 28 August 2026 based on a self-assessment against WCAG 2.1 AA carried out by Varyn Ltd. It was last reviewed on 29 August 2026.
This self-assessment was carried out by static inspection of the app’s code; testing with assistive technologies on a device has not yet been completed.
