HMRC online services allow individuals, businesses and agents to manage tax matters securely over the internet. Using an HMRC online account, you can send information such as self-assessment tax returns or VAT registration applications, view important records like your business or personal tax account and make payments online.
To access these services, you will need to ensure you have set up an account with HMRC. If you do not already have sign-in details, you can easily create them. HMRC provides three types of online services accounts: individual accounts, organisation accounts and accounts for agents.
An individual account lets you set up a Personal Tax Account where you can complete tasks such as checking your Income Tax estimate and tax code, updating personal details and claiming tax refunds. You can also register for self-assessment if you need to report income from sources such as property or investments. The same sign-in details can be used for both services.
Organisation accounts are for businesses and trusts. A business tax account allows sole traders, partnerships and limited companies to register for self-assessment (if self-employed), VAT, PAYE and Corporation Tax, depending on what is required.
A number of HMRC services use a separate sign-in process, including excise, import and export services, childcare accounts and for reporting Capital Gains Tax on UK property.
