Changing bank account details with tax credits

EvePolastris

I’ve managed to change my bank account details online for child benefit but can’t find how to do it for tax credits - does anyone know how or do I have to phone up?

This can be done online within your HMRC Personal Tax Account. If you already have a government gateway ID, you might only need to log in and activate the Tax Credits service. (You might find it active already because of something you have done but forgotten about)

You can sign into or setup your Personal Tax Account via https://www.gov.uk/personal-tax-account

Thanks, I have a Givernment Gateway login and the tax credits section showing but there’s nothing there that takes me to a bank account details change. I think I’ll just have to call them

To date, the tax credits digital service does not cover changes to bank account details.
