How to change your details with the HMRC

Many people are unaware that if you are registered as self-employed or own a business/company then you must update your details with the HMRC if any of them change.

There are 2 different ‘categories’ in which you can notify the HMRC of a change in your details, they are separated into ‘personal’ and ‘business’ details so be sure to know which you require to change before following the links below:

 

Personal Details:

This section applies if you need to inform the HMRC of any changes relating to:

  • Change of personal Name and/or personal Address
  • Income Changes
  • Relationship Status or Family Change
  • Gender Change

What these changes relate to are:

  • Your Income Tax and National Insurance
  • Any tax credits and benefits (including Child Benefit)
  • All services including Government Gateway and the Pension Service

So if that’s what you’re looking to change then simply visit the following link and follow the steps provided: https://www.gov.uk/tell-hmrc-change-of-details

 

Business Details:

This section applies if you need to inform the HMRC of any changes relating to:

  • Change of business Name and/or business Address
  • Changes to your business’s legal structure
  • Changes to a Partnership
  • Changes for VAT
  • Change Bank Details
  • If you’re Employing Staff
  • Appointing someone to handle your tax affairs
  • Closing or selling your business

You also must remember that once you’ve changed your business details with the HMRC you must also update those details for:

  • Corporation Tax
  • Self Assessment
  • PAYE for employers
  • VAT (you must tell HMRC of changes within 30 days)
  • the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

This is quite a large section with different sub-links which you need to navigate to in order to notify the HMRC of your changes, however the main starting page which you can navigate from is: https://www.gov.uk/tell-hmrc-changed-business-details/change-of-name-or-address
