How do I add or check my employment income in EasyTaxer?

HMRC adds the PAYE employment income it knows about to your tax return, and you must check it. On Income → Employment you can see HMRC's employments, add one HMRC doesn't have, and report employment expenses and tips. Employment is reported once a year, after the tax year ends.

Where to find it in EasyTaxer: Income → Employment

A still from the video: a dark green title slide labelled MTD for Income Tax, Income, listing two numbered steps, HMRC adds it and You check it, with the EasyTaxer logo in the corner, under the title Employment income.

The video for this page is coming soon. The steps below describe everything it will show, in the same order.

Step by step

  1. Open Income → Employment and pick the tax year.
  2. Under From HMRC, check the employments HMRC holds; you can view or ignore one, but not edit or delete it.
  3. Under Your employments, select Add employment for a job HMRC doesn't have, then enter its pay, tax and benefits on the job's page.
  4. Add employment expenses or tips if you have them, once the tax year has ended.

Steps: the text version of this video

  1. The short answer

    If you're employed as well, HMRC adds the PAYE employment income it knows about to your tax return, and you must check it before you submit. In EasyTaxer, that's Income, then Employment. Employment is reported once a year.

  2. HMRC's employments

    Under From HMRC, you see the employments HMRC holds. You can view one, or ignore it to leave it out, but you can't edit or delete it.

  3. Adding a job

    If HMRC doesn't have a job, add it under Your employments: the employer's name, the PAYE reference, and the start date. Then open the job to enter its pay, tax and benefits.

  4. Expenses and tips

    On the same page, you can report employment expenses, for all your employments, and tips you received that weren't taxed through PAYE. Links there also take you to other employment income, and to other expenses.

  5. When

    HMRC only accepts these once the tax year has ended. For 2026 to 2027, that's after 5 April 2027, and until then the page tells you so.

  6. EasyTaxer is recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. You'll find it at easytaxer.com.
