Have you checked your personal tax account recently? If at all?
Latest research from the Post Office shows that 46% of UK workers have never checked their personal tax account.
Your personal tax account is an official digital service provided by GOV.UK, which allows you to:
• View and manage your tax details
• Complete a self-assessment tax return
• Check your National Insurance (NI) number
• Apply for tax credits/a refund
• Check your state pension contributions
• Utilise your marriage allowance (link marriage allowance blog)
Surprisingly, only 16% of people feel ‘very in control’ of their personal tax affairs, whilst 29% would like to have a better understanding and management of theirs.
A personal tax account is not just useful for those who are self-employed, but also people who have second jobs, additional income streams, or employment benefits such as a bonus or company car and will show you your income tax and national insurance liabilities for the year ahead.
