That sentence, in plain words

This money pays for help given to taxpayers. That covers filing, accounts and advice. The sum is over three billion dollars.

Some of it funds free help for older people and people with low income. A named office inside the agency speaks for taxpayers.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
