tax office

Government collection agency

A tax office is a government building or agency where tax-related business is conducted, including filing returns, making payments, and resolving disputes with tax authorities.

In the UK, it often refers specifically to a local branch of HM Revenue and Customs.

I had to visit the tax office to sort out my council tax.

The term may also refer more broadly to any office that handles tax matters, including those of private accountants or tax preparers.
