I don't know how, but I ended up with two HMRCC Gateway IDs I've been using. One only has corporation tax, while the other has the company's VAT, PAYE, as well as self-assessement. So is there any way to combine them into one?

Yeah, you can always get a new 64-8 from each corporate client and reallocate them to them to the other ID.
I had two IDs - possibly my own fault in misunderstanding the system back in the early days - my PAYE and CIS clients were on a different ID to the rest of the taxes. I just ran with it. It didn't bother me enough to deal with it.
Exactly as Lion. Different ID for PAYE than all other taxes.
Haven't even attempted to get HMRC to combine them. Chances are too high that they will mess up the whole process resulting in us losing access to one / the other / both.
I believe you need to dis-associate the tax (VAT, PAYE or whatever) from the government gateway and then you can add the tax (VAT, PAYE, etc) to your other gateway.
Probably best to call the IT online Helpline which will involve being on hold for ages but they should be able to kill off the taxes on one gateway and then add them to the new gateway. You'll need to pass security tests so make sure you are sitting in front of computer with access to your CT, PAYE and VAT details (dates of registration, UTR, payroll reference, etc).

I had a client a few years back who had this isue. He phoned the IT online helpline and they sorted it out, as Jason suggested.
Haven't you heard that stockpiling is greedy!
Are you expecting HMRC to run out of them? :=)
It wasn't me it was them. They insisted I had a separate one for a limited company's VAT.

Ah - you were caught out by an HMRC probationer.
Yes there is now a very easy way to do this because HMRC have added new features to the govt gateway/BTA/PTA dog's breakfast. Inside you unwanted govt gateway account under "Manage Account" you can now remove enrollments for any selected taxes. Then in the desired govt gateway account just enroll for those taxes. With CT, SA and PAYE you will be sent an activation code by post; for VAT it is instant.
Is this for an agent ID (showing all manner of client taxes) or just for your own company?
If the latter I think for the Corporation Tax you would just need to cancel the link (in manage account) and then add corporation tax as a new tax to the remaining ID (with the SA, PAYE etc.
If for agent access - I would either leave well alone as you can bet if HMRC get involved there is a chance it will all go wrong and you may lose access?
Alternatively, reauthorise all the CT clients via the PAYE/VAT/SA ID and wait for HMRC to send out the codes.
I guess it depends how many?
Hi has anyone actually removed the PAYE/CIS for agents from one gateway ID and then added it to another gateway ID and then waited for the activation code and upon activating it on the new gateway do all the clients return as normal? I recently removed CT & SA from separate gateways and added them to our new log in so everything is under one roof, this was done successfully and all the clients appeared within hours. However I need to know if PAYE works like this and that indeed all the clients re appear and you don't need to do 64-8's again?
