Get it done online:

Get it done online is where to go when you want to complete a form and send it to us via the Internet , make a payment, look at your account information, use our 'Send and receive mail' service, file an employer schedule or register for some of our services. It is also the place where you can make an appointment to see us, give feedback or make a complaint. You can find the service you need by keyword, activity or by the name of the service. Once you find the service you want, the 'Full description >' link will tell you when to use the service, how to complete the online form and what to do when you have finished. If you get stuck, or need assistance filling in a form, many of our services provide links to help and detailed explanations of some questions.

Work it out:

This is where you will find all the calculators, worksheets and other tools you may need to work out if you need to fill out a return, make a payment or estimate any assistance benefits you may be entitled to. You can also download tables of data you may require such as the PAYE deduction tables.
