You need to tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if you鈥檝e changed your name or address. How you contact HMRC depends on your situation.

You鈥檒l also need to change your business records if you run a business.

If you submit a Self Assessment tax return, your details will be updated once you鈥檝e reported a name or address change.

Tell HMRC you鈥檝e changed your address.

. You鈥檒l need to sign in. If you do not already have sign in details you鈥檒l be able to create them.

You can also tell HMRC that your name or address has changed using the HMRC app.

Your name will be updated automatically if you change gender.

Tax agents

If you鈥檙e a tax agent (for example an accountant), tell HMRC about a change of name or address:

• through your online account
• by phone or in writing

You must tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) about changes to your taxable income.

To do this you can either:

• check your Income Tax and tell HMRC about a change
• call HMRC

If you do not, you could pay too much tax or get a tax bill at the end of the year.

What you must tell HMRC

Your employer or pension provider tells HMRC when:

• you start or finish your job
• there鈥檚 a change in the money you earn from your job or get from your pension

But you must tell HMRC about any other changes, for example when you start or stop getting:

• income from a new source, such as money from self-employment or rent from property
• taxable benefits, such as State Pension, Jobseeker鈥檚 Allowance, Carer鈥檚 Allowance or (in Scotland only) Carer Support Payment
• benefits from your job, such as a company car
• income above your Personal Allowance
• money over 拢90,000 from self-employment (you must register for VAT over this amount)
• lump sums from selling things you pay Capital Gains Tax on, such as shares or property that鈥檚 not your main home
• income from property, money or shares you inherit, such as dividends from shares or rent from property

If you get tax credits

Tell HMRC separately about changes that affect your tax credits.

If your spouse or civil partner dies

Tell HMRC about changes to your income after the death of your husband, wife or civil partner.

If you make Self Assessment 鈥榩ayments on account鈥�

Tell HMRC if you expect a big decrease in income and you pay your Self Assessment tax bill in advance (鈥�payments on account鈥�). HMRC may decide to reduce your payments.

After you tell HMRC

HMRC may:

• change your tax code and send you a PAYE Coding notice
• tell you to send a Self Assessment tax return so they can bill you for tax you owe
• send you a refund if you paid too much tax

Tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if:

• you get married or form a civil partnership
• you divorce, separate or stop living with your husband, wife or partner

You can if you鈥檙e paid a salary or pension through PAYE. If you submit a Self Assessment tax return as well, your details will be updated for both.

You鈥檒l need to sign in to use this service - if you do not already have sign in details you鈥檒l be able to create them.

You鈥檒l also need a National Insurance number (a temporary reference number will not work).

Tell HMRC straight away 鈥� if you do not, you could pay too much tax, or get a tax bill at the end of the year.

If you get tax credits or Child Benefit

Tell HMRC separately about changes to your relationship or family if you get:

• tax credits
• Child Benefit

If your spouse or civil partner dies

Contact HMRC to report:

• the death of your husband, wife or civil partner
• changes to your income after their death

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is usually told automatically when you change gender legally by applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate.

HMRC will:

• update its records with your gender and any name change
• tell the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
• restrict your records so only specialist staff at HMRC and DWP can access them
• hand your tax affairs to HMRC鈥檚 Public Department 1

Once you get a letter confirming your records have moved, you can contact Public Department 1 with questions about your tax or National Insurance.

Get advice about the gender change process

If you have questions about telling HMRC about changing your legal gender, you can call Special Section D.

Tell HMRC yourself

You can write to Special Section D to tell HMRC:

• about your legal gender change
• about your name change only if you did not change gender legally
• if you do not want them to restrict your records

Include your National Insurance number, and your original Gender Recognition Certificate if you鈥檝e changed gender legally.
