About this app

The only app to access your personal tax details with HMRC. Take control of your finances and join over 1.1 million people using the HMRC app every month. Download the HMRC app from the UK Government here.

We are currently advising customers of their new tax codes for the new tax year. Use this app to check your code and update next year’s estimated pay if needed.

The HMRC app is also a handy way to:

- check your pay a few days before pay day
- check previous payments from your employer
- find out how much Income Tax you should pay
- check your company benefits
- find your tax codes
- claim a refund if you’ve paid too much tax
- work out your take-home pay with the tax calculator
- set reminders for your Self Assessment payments
- check and save your National Insurance number
- manage and renew your tax credits
- access your Help to Save account
- check your Child Benefit
- check your State Pension
- check progress on forms you’ve sent to HMRC
- read messages from HMRC
- update your postal address
- choose to be contacted by HMRC electronically, instead of by letter

You can use your Government Gateway account to sign in. If you don’t have one, registration is easy and fast. You will need your National Insurance number and birth date to start.

Once you’re set-up, you can sign in quickly and securely using your face, fingerprint, or iris (depending on device support).

Ratings and reviews

Very poor. It's not really an app at all, it's just a poor front end to the HMRC website. You're just taken to a web browser and end up having to re-enter details already contained in the app. Even webchat takes you to the HMRC website via a browser and you can't even raise a formal complaint. It also has Google code embedded and the Google code will make around 60 tracking attempts an hour via this application to take your data without your knowledge.

Login has convoluted forgettable Gateway code. I had screen spotted mine (a security risk, I know, but I would never remember it) but then lost my phone. No photo recognition of docs requested so have to type in long numbers. Requires phone signal to receive code (no email option) & I live in a data shadow. I am fully expecting to have to re-enter all my numbers again when I have got dressed and walked up the hill to receive my text message.

Useless. Trying to confirm my ID, computer sent me to get the app so I can scan my INTERNATIONAL passport. App doesn't even have that option, only UK passport. Online chat page doesn't work and gives an error.
