VAT MTD agent authorisation

VAT agent authorisation

Didn't find your answer?

I am having problems with my agent authorisation. I have previously logged my authorisation to file clients VAT returns via MTD. But i am having regular problems where the authorisation must be applied for again and in Xero i cannot see the VAT figures without the authorisation being there. Is this normal? Its very time consuming have to ask my clients to reauthorise me each quarter?

You need to relink software every 18 months as the token expires so yes it's normal. However I am unsure about the part where you need your client to re authorise you. If you have your own ASA account you do the authorising yourself.

Are you using client accounts?

Hi, I am currently on hold to HMRC as the issue is that clients have been removed from my list to add onto the previous agents client list for no apparent reason. This happened a number of times lately and its costing me a lot of wasted hours in the middle of January trying to resolve it - I can't file VAT returns without the authorisation so I can't leave it until later

Your client can always add you back in as agent for vat immediately via their agent account.
