HMRC guidelines

Managing your account

After you've registered or completed your annual supervision you can sign in to your account to:

  • check messages sent to you by HMRC
  • update your account
  • view your records and make changes if you need to

How to sign in

To sign in, you need a Government Gateway user ID and password. If you do not have a user ID, you can create one when you first register.

You can use your personal Government Gateway user ID if you're registering as a sole proprietor.

You should use the business's Government Gateway user ID if you're registering as any other legal entity, such as a:

  • partnership
  • limited company
  • limited liability partnership

If the business does not have a user ID, you can create one when you first register.
