Business tax dashboard
The business tax dashboard is an HMRC online service that allows you to view the tax liabilities and tax paid by your business for PAYE, VAT and corporation tax or income tax for self-employed businesses.
To access the business tax dashboard, login to the online services section of the HMRC website using your user ID and password. Then open up either the corporation tax service (for companies) or the self-assessment online service (for other businesses). From the page titled 'Your HMRC Services' under the heading: 'services you can add' click on 'enrol for services' which should list 'business tax dashboard' as one of the options.
If you have already activated the dashboard it will appear under 'services you can use'. Now you will be able to see the taxes due and paid by your business. If you have different user IDs and passwords for say VAT and corporation tax, you will need to bring all the taxes on to one login to see all the taxes on your dashboard.
Unfortunately we can’t see the figures reported on your dashboard, as the taxman hasn’t given tax agents access to the dashboards for their clients.
There have been some problems with the accuracy of PAYE figures displayed on the dashboard for 2013/14 tax months 5, 7 and 8. So if you spot problems for those months, the HMRC software may be the reason why. HMRC is working to correct the errors for those periods.
However, rest assured that if your business tax dashboard is showing an underpayment of PAYE for months 5, 7 or 8 because of the software errors, that apparent PAYE will not be collected by HMRC.
