We highly recommend you have a Gov.uk "Gateway" account.
Access your information with HMRC online or via HMRC's mobile app.
If you don't already have a Gov.uk Gateway account use this link below to create one.

and more...
You will need to prove your ID. You will need a) your National Insurance Number and two of tje following 1) current passport 2) current driving licence, or 3) a recent payslip or P60. Two of these are the easiest way to get through ID verification during the setup process.
