Ratings and reviews

Terrible login experience. I've never been able to log in. It takes me to a browser to log in, which is fine. Then once I've done that returns me to the app to sign in with my pass code. Then it takes me back to the browser "tax.service.gov.uk/sso/session..." , which never loads, and then back to the app and asks me to enter my pass code again. All a vicious circle. Tried multiple browsers. Nothing.

This App has its clumsy elements and HM Revenue & Customs isn't exactly prompt about updating your tax record, but this does make it a little easier to see where you stand and get some help, at least. Some of the sections open Web Pages while others have the data within the App, so it's a bit disjointed. the Communications tab at the bottom has three different types of communication each with its own sub-section but this isn't much of an issue in practice.

Requires the latest Chrome, Samsung Internet or Firefox browser to sign in. Once in, you can do very basic tasks only but for anything remotely standard, such as checking your payments made, it kicks you back out to the browser and you have to sign in again using your long Government Gateway ID. Lazy, incompetent, useless app, just like HMRC themselves.
