The
Government Gateway - centralised registration service
The
Government Gateway
What
is the Government Gateway?
The Government Gateway is the website you use to register for online
government services. It is an important part of the government's
strategy of delivering 'joined up' government, enabling people to
communicate and make transactions with government from a single
point of entry.
Register
with the Government Gateway if you want to:
-
enrol for one or more government services (for example, Self Assessment,
PAYE Internet Services for Employers and Electronic VAT Returns)
Once you are registered as a Government Gateway User, you will be
able to:
-
submit forms to government departments for the services for which
you have enrolled. You will be able to carry out some services
by filling in online forms on government or private company websites.
For other services, online forms will not be available and you
will only be able to send forms by using software packages (such
as payroll software)
- enrol
for additional services as they become available
- assign
an Agent (such as your accountant or payroll bureau) to act on
your behalf for any of the services you have enrolled for
If you are an organisation you can also:
-
add other people within your organisation as Users of the Government
Gateway. They will be able to carry out any of the services you
have already enrolled for, and also enrol for new services. They
will also be able to create and delete other Users
-
create Assistants who will have access to limited features within
the Government Gateway, but can send your organisation's forms
to the government using appropriate software or websites
-
complete tasks such as deleting Users, changing the services that
Users are assigned to and making changes to your registration
