I had this issue last November. I never received a letter from HMRC regarding AML compliance. They removed access to self assessment and CT from my agent portal so I couldn't submit any returns.
I rang HMRC and was told you cant speak to the agent compliance team, I would have to write a letter. I did so and sent in my practicing certificate which specifically states I'm regulated for AML by my professional body, CIMA
From now on I'm going to send my practicing certificate to HMRC every year.
The next question will be whether the VAT nursing concession applies to umbrella companies?
The nursing concession applies between the agency and the end employer, ie the NHS. The umbrella becomes a third party supplier to the agency and not the end employer
So is VAT chargeable by the umbrella company to the agency?
