Hi
Since HMRC updated their online systems.
I am trying to register a client on the HMRC website for self assessment but all I can seem to do is register as the client. The option used to be there to be able to register for someone else. Can anyone point me in the right direction to be able to do this?
Having the same issue with VAT, again can anyone point me in the tright direction?
Many thanks
Phil

Register a client with HMRC for SA & VAT
Log in with your Agent ID then click Your HMRC Services top left
you'll find what you need at the top of the next page
Sign in on HMRC website click on Your HMRC Services. Then the second headline says Register for HMRC Taxes. Follow the links. It os much easier with the new updates and you can click a box for VAT Flat Rate too rather than filling in another form.
Is it really that simple

STILL ONGOING.
I've tried just about everything (as you can see in my blog) and I still can't register a client for VAT.

I have it book marked so only get in one way via HMRC homepage, then click on Tax agents & advisers, then login to HMRC online. You then get a welcome screen where you enter your user ID and password, you might get a security message next but your HMRC services comes up next. You can then select various things and if you have reached this point I don't need to go any further.

I have just tried using this and was able to create a dummy client which I then deleted. I agree the reference to not using it if you are an agent is confusing but it must have recognised me and let me proceed. I thought all registered agents have a gateway account anyway. What do you see when you hit the register for HMRC taxes? You should get Registration what would you like to do next page and proceed via the tab at the bottom and all the relevant pages follow.
