HM Revenue & Customs has started using GOV.UK One Login for taxpayers signing up to its digital services for the first time.
This means that if you do not already have a Government Gateway account, you will now register using an email-and-password login rather than needing to obtain a 10-12 digit Government Gateway ID.
For now, this only affects new HMRC users. Existing Government Gateway users do not need to switch yet.
Even if you already have a GOV.UK One Login that you use for another government service, you will still need to use your government gateway to access HMRC’s services for the time being.
HMRC plans to roll out GOV.UK One Logins gradually and will contact existing users when it is ready for them to move over.
Eventually, GOV.UK One Logins will become the single login for everything from filing a tax return to renewing a passport.
If you need help registering for or accessing HMRC services, please contact us. We will be happy to help you! See: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/hmrc-introducesgovukonelogin-for-new-customers
A new Freedom of Information (FOI) request has discovered that health and safety violations cost British employers over £44 million per year. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) revealed that serious breaches have resulted in an increasing number of prosecutions between 2023 and 2025.
The government has published a response to its consultation 'Land Remediation Relief' (LRR). The review sought to understand whether the Corporation Tax relief continues to incentivise the redevelopment of brownfield land and whether reforms are needed to ensure it remains effective, accessible and aligned with modern remediation practices.
