You've reached the final stage in making Beamin' your agent!
We’ve put together this simple step-by-step guide to support you through the final stages of your migration from Securitax to Beamin'
What you'll need?
If you do not have access to your Business Tax account, you'll need to obtain the following from Securitax;
Government Gateway Username - 12-digit number
Government Gateway Password - Securitax will send this to you
Secret key (required for access code) - Up to 58 characters long, consisting of numbers and letters
If you have not received the above from Securitax this will relate to the following reasons:
1. You were VAT registered before signing up to Securitax and therefore have created your government gateway account already.
2. The email may have fallen into your junk folder or you've changed your contact details.
If you're unable to locate the necessary information, please contact Securitax directly on the details below:

☎️ 01277 424423
Whats next?
You'll need to make sure you've downloaded an authentication app as you will be prompted to enter a 6-digit access code when logging into your account for the first time.
📱 You can find a reputable and free authentication app in your smartphones app store if you do not have an authentication app on your phone already. We recommend researching to find which one suits you best.
General instructions in an authentificator app
Using an authentication app for the first time can be confusing, so we've added some general instructions below which reflect how most authentificator apps work.
- Download and open the application
- When the app first opens, you may be shown a sign-in page. There is usually a skip option at the top right of the screen. You can skip this page and do not have to sign-in or create an account (unless you wish to)
- Click the plus icon in the top right of the app
- Select 'Other' from the list that shows
- Press 'Or enter code manually'
- Account name = "HMRC Government Gateway" (you can put whatever you wish here)
- Input Secret Key in FULL provided by Securitax
- Press finish
Once you press finish, this should generate the code in the app. Each code will last for up to 30 seconds before it is no longer valid and a new one will be shown by the app.
This code displayed in the authentificator app is called an access code and it is required each time you log into your Business Tax account.
