Tell HMRC you’ve changed your business name or address

Update business details with HMRC
Business: Business Tax

    You must tell HMRC if you change your name, business name or your personal or trading address.

    You need to make sure that you’’ve updated your details for all of the taxes and schemes you’’re registered for, including:

    • Corporation Tax
    • Self Assessment
    • PAYE for employers
    • VAT (you must tell HMRC of changes within 30 days)
    • the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

    Use HMRC Online Services to make these changes, including your correspondence address and payroll details if you’’re an employer. You can do this for all services apart from CIS.

    You need to tell Companies House about changes to your Corporation Tax details before you tell HMRC.

    Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

    You need to tell HMRC separately about any changes to your business if you’re a contractor or subcontractor under CIS.
