Summary
HMRC provides the most authoritative source of data for verifying employment and income in the UK as this data is sourced directly from the UK Government via the PAYE (Pay As You Earn) system. HMRC data is:
Official - sourced directly from employer-submitted PAYE records
Tamper-proof - records are uneditable
Comprehensive - up to 5 years of history, across multiple jobs
Secure - user-controlled via Government Gateway
Security and privacy
The connection uses HMRC’s own secure API
Konfir never sees your login details, as you login with HMRC directly
Konfir uses one-time and read-only access requests, which means that:
Access is automatically removed after you connect
We can’t make any changes to your account
We can’t re-access your data at a later date.
Note: To check your access permissions, you can log into your Government Gateway account and review connected applications. You remain in control of your HMRC access at all times.
