If you change your name or address it's important to let your Tax Office know - even if you pay your tax through PAYE and have already told your employer or pension provider. If you are receiving tax credits or Child Benefit, you also need to tell the relevant office.
On this page:
You can use the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) email service, which will update your records for Income Tax, tax credits, Child Benefit, Child Trust Fund, National Insurance contributions and student loan repayments. You only need to send one notification to update your records for these services.
Tell HMRC about a change of name or address by email
If you don't want to use the email service, you'll need to get in touch with your Tax Office and all the relevant helplines (for contact details follow the links below).
If you are VAT registered then you can report the changes to HMRC either online, using the link below, or in writing using form VAT 484. You can't tell HMRC about changes to your details by telephone or by email.
Go to form VAT 484 notifying HMRC of changes to a VAT registered business
