Vat direct debit setup (again) MTD clients

ability to setup vat direct debits in old agent account very random

Didn't find your answer?

Ok for some MTD clients who have recently (before submissions due date 7/4/2020) cancelled the direct debits we now have the option within our old gateway to set the direct debits back up again - thats great. Basically the previously available method has been restored as it was before it was taken away for MTD cleints.

However some clients don't have the available option and i can;t work out why? - i don't know if its a timing issue , a different banks work differently issue , whether anything to do with old pre mtd direct debits affects anything or its just random hmrc no answer as to why i can setup direct debit or not.

I think i may be in trouble with clients who don;t have their own gateway as i have heard rumours paperr direct debit applications have been returned.

I spoke to vat webchat and they outright denied that i would be able to setup any direct debits anymore, so perhaps the re introduction of our ability to setup direct debits for some clients is a random error they havent spotted yet.

Any useful pointers anyone?

I've just tried to do the same, and there is nowhere in either the old or new gateway to do it :-(

There is the screen to set-up a Direct Debit on the VAT tax account (MTD ) on my clients gateway. However, it is not accepting the bank details when they tried this morning. I'm wondering if the whole service to set-up is down?
