HMRC's Personal Tax Account (PTA) and Business Tax Account (BTA) allow you to view and manage your tax affairs online.
The Personal Tax Account is designed for individuals. With it, you can:
Pay your tax bills
check your PAYE tax code
check your income from employment in the previous 5 years
check how much Income Tax you paid in the previous 5 years
check and manage Benefits such as your tax credits
check your National Insurance Record for your State Pension status
check or update your Marriage Allowance
tell HMRC about a change of name or address
find your National Insurance number
Here's HMRC's brief explainer video. And the sign-up link: https://www.gov.uk/personal-tax-account
The Business Tax Account is for businesses already registered for:
Self Assessment (sole-traders or Partnerships)
VAT
PAYE
Corporation Tax - for limited companies
Importantly:
you will use just one BTA to access multiple taxes, such as Corporation Tax, PAYE and VAT (but not the same login you use for your PTA), for how to add different tax types to your BTA see this short video.
an individual involved in a business will need both a PTA and BTA
