HMRC Digital Account Management for MTD Taxpayers
Your HMRC online account holds your MTD obligations, due dates, tax calculations, payments and notices, but few people check it regularly. ABM Chartered Accountants provides HMRC digital account management as your authorised agent, so nothing goes unnoticed.
Your HMRC Online Account, Actively Managed
HMRC digital account management covers your business tax account, personal tax account, VAT online account and the Making Tax Digital for Income Tax service within them. Through our agent services account we view your quarterly update periods and due dates, check what you owe, review tax calculations, add new businesses, cease income sources that have stopped and confirm payments have been allocated correctly.
We also monitor notices, penalty points and authorisations each month, and resolve anything wrong with HMRC directly rather than leaving you to navigate Government Gateway.

Why an Agent Should Manage Your Account
Obligations tracked: Every quarterly update period, VAT return and final declaration due date is read directly from HMRC’s record.
Penalty points spotted early: Points and late payment interest appear in the account first, so we act before they escalate.
Payments allocated correctly: Misallocated payments cause phantom debts and interest. We check and correct them with HMRC.
Notices never missed: HMRC letters and digital notices are reviewed and actioned within days.
Changes made properly: New businesses added and ceased sources closed so obligations match reality.

HMRC Digital Account FAQs
Answers to common questions about HMRC online accounts, agent access and how ABM manages them for Making Tax Digital.
What does my HMRC online account show?
For MTD for Income Tax you can view tax calculations, quarterly update periods and due dates, what you owe, business and property details, add a business, cease an income source, make payments and claim refunds.
How does my accountant access my HMRC account?
Through an agent services account, once you have authorised us with HMRC. We see your obligations, calculations and submissions directly, without ever needing your Government Gateway user ID or password.
Why is MTD missing from my account?
It sometimes needs adding manually. Sign in, choose add a tax to your account, select Making Tax Digital for Income Tax and answer the security questions. We can complete this for you.
Which HMRC account matters for VAT?
Your VAT online account, accessed through the same business tax account. MTD for VAT must be activated there and in your software. We monitor both for VAT-registered clients.
Why does a paid amount show as outstanding?
Payments occasionally go to the wrong reference or tax. We identify the misallocation in your account and ask HMRC to reallocate it, stopping interest and chasing letters.
Do you need my Government Gateway login?
No. Agent authorisation gives us all the access we need through HMRC’s own systems. You should never share Government Gateway credentials with anyone, including your accountant or bookkeeper.
