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 the following information about an individual's income for a given tax year:

  • income from employment, as reported to HMRC by their employers through the PAYE process
  • income from pensions (other than state pension) and retirement annuities
  • income from other state benefits or grants, such as taxable Incapacity Benefit, contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance and the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme

The primary intended use for this information is to pre-populate an individual's Self Assessment tax return.
