Tax Activation Code

Has anyone else had trouble receiving an activation code in the post for their business tax account? I registered our company for PAYE 3 weeks ago and whilst I've received the PAYE reference number letter, I've still not received the activation code to add the tax to my business tax account online, meaning I can't link my accounting software to it to submit RTI. Called today and they confirmed there are no issues, but re-issued another code which I now need to wait for.

I've still not received our activation code after 11 days since requesting the new one, and 24 days since first registering. I'm concerned that if I request a new one again it'll just start the waiting process all over again. Is there a backlog or any issues with these being issued currently?

Hi,

If you have still not received the code, you should contact our Online Services Helpdesk.

Thank you.

I wanted to add Corporation Tax to my business account, currently only vat, have now received activation code, but when I login to my account to activate it, I do not get that option. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am facing the same issue. I have the activation code but there is no option where I can put in the code. Is your issue resolved now? can you please help?

Hi hamza,

If you have received an activation code, when you login to your online account there will be an option for activating Self Assessment.

If this is not showing contact our Self Assessment team.
