HMRC recognises that agents provide a valuable service, supporting their clients in managing their tax obligations. Some clients manage certain business taxes by themselves and to do that, would benefit from having a Business Tax Account.

The HMRC Business Tax Account is an online account which brings together all a taxpayer’s business taxes in one place. HMRC has published a new guidance page which gives more detail on who can use the Business Tax Account, what it can be used for and how to sign up.

This page is a useful guide that you can also share with your clients for awareness. Even if you manage all tax affairs for your clients, they can still use the Business Tax Account to monitor what’s happening in their account.
