Changing your business address or name? Who and how to notify.

Posted by: edwinsmith on August 11th, 2014

LIMITED COMPANIES – change of registered office

If you are changing your registered office address you need to complete form AD01.  This can either be done on line at Companies House or by post.  The corporation tax department of HMRC gather data from Companies House on change of registered address and so it should filter through to the corporation tax office.  However, it would be advisable to check with them that it has been updated.

BUSINESSES WITH AN HMRC ONLINE BUSINESS TAX DASHBOARD

The dashboard can be used to update three business taxes.

  1. Corporation tax or self-assessment
  2. PAYE for employers
  3. VAT

If you do not have a business dashboard account but you are registered on line for corporation tax, VAT or PAYE then you can use your on line account to register a change of business address.  Please note the corporation tax office will not accept a change in the registered office address as this needs to be done through Companies House first as mentioned above.  Agents on line accounts do not have the facility for informing HMRC of a change of address.

If you do not have an on line account then you will need to inform HMRC for the following taxes as follows:-

VAT 

Complete form VAT484, section 1, and forward to HMRC at the address shown on the form.  This form can be downloaded from the HMRC website.

PAYE

Employers should write to HMRC at the following address:-

H.M. Revenue and Customs – Customer Operations Employer Office, BP 4102, Chillingham House, Benton Park View, NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, NE98 1ZZ.
