Overview
This API is one of a number of APIs that provide information that HMRC knows about an individual's tax affairs.
This API in particular provides information about an employee’s or director’s benefits for a given tax year, as reported to HMRC by their employer(s) through the PAYE process. For example company cars and fuel, interest-free and low interest loans, private medical and dental insurance.
For more information, see HMRC’s A-Z guide to expenses and benefits
The primary intended use for this information is to pre-populate an individual's Self Assessment tax return.
