64-8 on paper or online?

64-8 on paper or online?

Didn't find your answer?

I wonder if you can clear up a query in our office please?

One of my colleagues has been told by a member of staff at HMRC that if a 64-8 is completed online for SA rather than on paper then it only registers you to deal with HMRC by post and not over the telephone amongst other things.

Has anyone else heard of this? I was under the impression that if you completed a 64-8 online rather than on paper it got there quicker, saved a stamp and tended to go onto your SA list online a bit quicker but other than that a 64-8 submitted online or on paper was effectively the same thing.

Any guidance and or personal experiences of any differences between the two would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

tosh

possibly the member of staff that your colleague was unfortunate enough to deal with needs a little more training.

64-8's submitted online should entitle the agent to the same service as a paper one.

Agree.  Never heard such nonsense.

Thanks for your responses; as I thought but best to check as you never know what daft ideas HMRC come up with!

Fair comment

That's true.

Sadly.
