More than 50,000 businesses and sole traders have used the HMCR app to make £50 million in Self Assessment payments since it was launched in February 2022.

The app is available to download from:

• the App Store for iOS
• the Google Play Store for Android

What can you do on the HMRC app?

• make a Self Assessment payment
• report tax credits changes and complete your renewal
• access your Help to Save account
• use our tax calculator to work out your take home pay after Income Tax and National Insurance deductions
• track forms and letters you have sent to us
• claim a refund if you have paid too much tax
• update your postal address

How to start using the app

After downloading the app to your device, the first step is to enter your Government Gateway user ID and password to sign into your account. You will only need to do this the first time you login. (If you do not have sign in details you can create them on the same sign-in page.)

You can then set up one of the following to access your account via the HMRC app.

• a 6-digit PIN
• your fingerprint
• facial recognition
