HMRC's Personal Tax Account (PTA) and Business Tax Account (BTA) allow you to view and manage your tax affairs online.


The Personal Tax Account is designed for individuals, including those not self-employed. With it, you can:

Here's HMRC's brief explainer video. And the sign-up link: https://www.gov.uk/personal-tax-account


The Business Tax Account is for businesses already registered for:

  • Self Assessment (sole-traders or Partnerships)

  • VAT

  • PAYE

  • Corporation Tax - for limited companies

Importantly:

  • you will use just one Government Gateway ID and password to access multiple taxes within your BTA (but not the same login you use for your PTA)

  • an individual involved in a business will need both a PTA and BTA

For more info on how to sign-up to the BTA visit: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/sign-in-to-your-hmrc-business-tax-account
