I've recently set up my practice and obviously need an agent code from HMRC for SA, CT, VAT, etc. For SA and CT you need to apply in writing, which I did about a week ago.
Now I know that I'm being a bit ambitious to expect to receive my code within a week, but how long have people waited to get their codes?
Thanks

how long is a piece of string
Twice the distance from the middle ( well it is Friday pm!!!)
Took 2 months in my case.
It took 2 months in my case and finally I had to call them few times and get the number. When I called the first time they claimed they didn't receive my letter, so had to post it again using recorded dly.
Mine took five weeks or thereabouts
They phoned me up after about five weeks to say they were posting it and their letter arrived about four days after that.
They were very helpful because I wasn't sure whether to have it in my own name or the name of my practice - I opted for the latter.
Can you apply for additional agent codes for same company?
Hi
I want to keep the second branch separate from the head office. Anyone who could help me if I could apply for an additional agent code for my second branch?
I have contacted HMRC and they are saying I need to write them. So what would be the wording of the letter or if someone has any sample please share
Thanks
