Online Services

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Online Services are a quick, convenient, safe and secure way to deal with a whole range of tax, excise and benefit related issues. They allow you to:

  • access real time accounts and amend information such as contact details
  • check eligibility and submit claims for benefits
  • submit tax, excise and other returns and declarations and pay electronically

The information on this page gives an overview of what you can do online, and provides links to the specific information and online services that are relevant to you – whether you’re an individual, a business, or a software developer.

    Changes to our Online Services

    Over the next few years, we're changing the way you have to manage and pay a number of taxes. In many cases, this will mean that the only way to file returns will be online and you'll have to make payment electronically.

    We also have a programme in place to ensure our Online Services are continually improving.
