Click start now and choose how you wish to verify your identity.
If you already have a Government Gateway User ID then select the top option. We will assume that you do not already have one. In which case, select this bottom option
Make sure you have your National Insurance Number and either a recent payslip or your passport to hand and “Create a Government Gateway account”
Select “Set up a user ID” at the bottom of the page.
Select “No” – you are not an agent
Choose “Individual” account
In the second part of HMRC’s attempts to check your identity you will be asked to choose one of three options shown. Depending on which one you choose you will then be asked two further questions. For example, if you choose the P60 option you will be asked to enter in the total amount of National Insurance you paid in the year and then the total pay shown on the P60. If you choose the UK Passport option you will be asked for your the name on your passport, your passport number and the expiry date.
After you have completed this you can now sign into your personal tax account.
