In June 2025, delivered two focused frontend improvements with clear business value. In hmrc/employment-expenses-tax-relief-guidance-frontend, introduced the multi-job expense claim flow, including a dedicated page to determine if a user is claiming for more than one job and a subsequent guidance page, updated navigation, and unit tests. In hmrc/childcare-calculator-frontend, upgraded Play frontend HMRC dependency from 12.2.0 to 12.6.0 in AppDependencies.scala to obtain latest features, fixes, and compatibility. These changes enhance user journey for multi-job claims, improve reliability and maintainability, and reduce technical debt through up-to-date libraries.

May 2025 monthly summary for hmrc/employment-expenses-tax-relief-guidance-frontend. Delivered navigation rerouting enhancement to streamline user journeys between Pega Journey and Employee Expenses. Implemented rerouting logic in the navigation service so that users who answer 'No' to having more than five jobs are directed to the employee expenses URL when the Pega service journey is enabled. This release included the necessary dependencies and build configuration updates to support the new routing behavior and ensure maintainability. Commit DL-16432 documents the change.

April 2025 monthly delivery focused on content lifecycle and repository hygiene. Delivered archiving of the Accessibility Statement for the claim-a-tax-refund service in English and Welsh, updating the service configuration to archived to de-emphasize or hide the statement. This reduces user confusion, ensures the product reflects current disclosures, and improves long-term maintenance by clearly marking outdated content as archived. Work evidenced by a single, traceable commit in the hmrc/accessibility-statement-frontend repository.
