Hi, I have register for Self Assessment at 1st June 2024 and haven’t received UTR number or any messages from HMRC until now. In 1st August 2024 I want to sign in my personal tax account and find out what I can do for Self Assessment and the system said my government gate way ID and password does not match. (I am sure both government gate way ID and password is correct because I have just made an application for tax refund at the end of June.) I also try to change my password but the system said I cannot change my password online, after I provided my personal details. I have contacted online help desk, provided my personal details and NI no., they reply me that ‘’their cannot issue their credentials at this time - I have been advised a referral has been sent to the relevant department - I will need to wait for a response’’. And they do not have time scale. May I be advised that which department I should contact for my UTR number. Am I still able to file my first Self Assessment tax return under the situation that I cannot sign in my personal account? Thanks!

Hello! I received my visa on 18th January 2023 and continued working for my last job in Hong Kong until 15th April 2023. I entered the UK on 4th July 2023 and received my NI number on 26th July 2023. May I ask if I need to apply for self assessment to declare overseas income before entering the UK? I also have interest from a bank account in Hong Kong which totaling no more than £150 during the 2023-2024 tax year. May I know if I need to declare this to HMRC? Thank you.
