  • RE: Unable to set up a CGT account with existing Gov Gateway ID

    Thank you. Do I need to use a different email address or different ID to do this? I have already tried signing up for a new account but after checking my ID I am re-directed back to my original Government Gateway User ID.
  • Unable to set up a CGT account with existing Gov Gateway ID

    Hello, Please can you advise me on how to set-up a CGT account from this situation... I have an existing Government Gateway ID which I have used for Self-Assessment, but when I follow the link to create a CGT account I only get the options to do so as a Trust/Estate or an Organisation, and I need to do this as an individual. I was advised on the phone to HMRC to set-up a new Government Gateway ID, but when I tried, using the same details as my existing account, my progress is stopped and I am reverted back to my original account: 'We have found your personal tax account under a different Government Gateway user ID To protect your information, access to your personal tax account was limited to the user ID below, ending with ****. You are currently signed in with the user ID ending with ****. To access your personal tax information you need to sign in again with the following user ID: *my existing details are then listed' Is there something going wrong with the process when I follow the link to create a CGT account? How can I set-up a new individual account with my existing details? Would this work if I created a new email account and used my same ID? Can I amend my existing account to make it both an individual and business account? Thank you, A
