    Is that the Govt Gateway or specific app ?
    The app uses the Govt Gateway info to log in. Anything that’s not (yet) built into the app links out to the website.

    Despite the fact it’s an app that tells me I’m paying taxes, I think it’s quite good!
    It is a good app for quickly checking things but there are too many items that make you have to log in to HMRC website.  Hopefully this will improve in time.
    Such as? The app often transfers me to the website but no need to log in.

    This! The easier it becomes to access information, the more likely people are to take notice and consider action.

    Hi thanks for the feedback, how do I inform the HMRC, been on their website and and can not find the option to inform them ?
    I belevie you can do it though  your personal tax account (for which you'll need a Government Gateway id) as in the link I posted earlier. I don't know about the app...
     
    AS far as Informing HMRC that you;ve stopped working, if you were in regular employment and were issued with a P45 when you finished, your employer should be sending the details to HMRC automatically.  
    From my own experience and family members, delays by ex employers in issuing P45's has caused quite a few headaches with ( very) incorrect tax codes, that have needed resolving with HMRC.
