HMRC lists a business I did not set up

What it means

HMRC have another business or property income registered under your National Insurance number. Each one needs its own quarterly updates, so FileThat shows it and offers to set it up.

What to check

1. Whether you have a second sole trader business, or UK or foreign property income, registered with HMRC.
2. If you do, set it up in FileThat from the notice on your dashboard, so its updates can be sent.
3. If you do not recognise it, check with HMRC. It may be an old business that was never recorded as stopped.

How we can help

FileThat never sets a business up without you. Ask us if the notice does not make sense, and we will explain what HMRC returned.
