Or choose our Tax Return Plus plan and we can do it for you!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>National Insurance number<\/strong> (for sole traders and individuals) \ud83d\udd22<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Company registration number<\/strong> (for limited companies)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the basics to get started. If you don\u2019t have your Government Gateway ID yet, you\u2019ll need to create one, so get ready for a couple of extra steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: visit the HMRC Website&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/sign-in-to-your-hmrc-business-tax-account\">Go to the HMRC portal<\/a> (it\u2019s easy to find &#8211; just search \u201cHMRC business tax account\u201d). When you land there, look for the option to \u201cSign in\u201d or \u201cCreate a business tax account.\u201d \ud83d\udcbb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: create a Gateway account&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t have a <strong>Government Gateway account<\/strong>? No worries! Here\u2019s how to create one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the registration page and enter your details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill in your details (business and personal). \u270f\ufe0f<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verify your identity with security questions or a code sent to your email. (Pro tip: check your spam folder if the code doesn\u2019t land in your inbox.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re all set up, you\u2019ll have your personal <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/self-assessment-basics\/find-government-gateway-user-id\/\">Government Gateway ID<\/a> to log in and access HMRC services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: register for HMRC Online Services&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got your <strong>Government Gateway account<\/strong>, it\u2019s time to register for HMRC\u2019s online services. Depending on your business type, you\u2019ll select services like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Self Assessment<\/strong> (if you\u2019re a sole trader)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corporation Tax<\/strong> (for limited companies)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>VAT<\/strong> (if you\u2019re VAT registered)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PAYE<\/strong> (if you have employees)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter your business details and hit \u2018submit\u2019, then you\u2019re officially on your way. \ud83c\udfc3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: receive and use your activation code&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll get an activation code from HMRC (usually by post). Once it arrives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log into your <strong>business tax account<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the activation code you received <strong>\ud83d\udd11<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm your services are linked<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for using your business tax account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <strong>business tax account<\/strong> can be used for a whole host of things. Here are a few ways you can get the most out of it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Make sure your details are up to date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the \u2018Manage Account\u2019 section, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add or remove a tax, duty, or scheme<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide access for other team members (internal or external)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change your tax agent and authorise them to act on your behalf<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update your account details like your business address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can even sign up for paperless notifications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Review your taxes&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can control certain taxes and schemes directly in your account too. For example, if you\u2019re a small business and your annual turnover falls below the VAT threshold, you might be eligible to deregister for VAT using your online account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Keep up to date with your deadlines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your new <strong>business tax account <\/strong>will show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If there\u2019s a return you need to complete<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your balance (either outstanding or overpaid tax)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Links to more details, like payment and return information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always a good idea to check your account regularly to make sure you\u2019re on top of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. File a return or payment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use your <strong>business tax account <\/strong>to file a return or make a payment directly to HMRC. This includes any direct debit payments. You\u2019ll also see:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repayments HMRC owes you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payments you\u2019ve made<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interest on any late payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Penalties for late payments or filings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax calculations for previous years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let us simplify your business taxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling a bit overwhelmed by managing your <strong>business tax account<\/strong> on your own?
