I just wish HMRC had everyone saying the same, I am absolutely fed up ringing VAT and been told different stories.
I have registered all my VAT Return clients for MTDfVAT and submitted the June returns, when no receipt was forthcoming I called VAT to be told that NO communication is now sent to the client but I have now received a forwarded email from a client from HMRC advising of the amount of VAT due and date it will be taken.
Also no clients to date have been asked to acknowledge for a change of D D, including our company, just an email saying a new DD was been set up.
Please Please can you stop telling us wrong information, it is bad enough getting it from HMRC

So HMRC want to be able to get whatever information they deem necessary but when you ring the Agent Help Line for information they refuse to give it ie, Pension income/PAYE income, which we have been given for years without problem up to a few years ago, and must send it direct to the Taxpayer
Seems to be one rule for them and one for everyone else as usual with this lot.
They do not live in the real world but their Ivory Tower in London
HMRC are just a set of bullies by the sound of this.
It is just as bad as having to give them a mobile/landline number to have them send a pin number to be able to access the Government Gateway.
They have too much information already and we know how rubbish their IT systems are so security on them will be just as bad I expect.
Proper checks on software should be taken before implementation is what we tell clients except HMRC don't seem capable of this. RTI is a good example where payments just get allocated willy nilly and they expect us to sort the problems out!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately Common Sense went out of the window a long time ago, as is said the fines will not worry the big 4 as they will merely increase their prices and their clients will continue to pay up because they are the "BIG 4" and their name is on the Report.
Unfortunately the big 4 have always "got away with it" because of who they are/know while we "little minnows" get clobbered by their "mates" in "power".
Forgive my rant but until the "powers that be" get their house in order that is the perceived reaction from most of us, but the big boys on the committees just don't seem to give a jot about us.
Think it's about time to retire. FRS102/105, GDPR, Brexit,Corbinistas etc.
I asked a similar question and the response seemed to indicate you carry on recording daily sale in total but nothing definite. Indeed I found the whole webinar to be full of holes and nothing definite decided, the person answering the questions would make a good MP as he never seemed to give a straight answer.
Just found out another client has been dropped from my G Gateway, about 6 in last 12 months so if this is happening now what will happen when MTD gets up and running.
Yes HMRC are on the rails to a big crash and we will be left to pick up the pieces and take the agro from clients as we have been doing for years.
Me thinks this might be a good time to look at retiring.
Until their software people can sort out the time on Gateway responses to be the correct time which has been going on for years ( only correct in winter) and RTI to be updated in "Real Time" not every two weeks then they should leave well alone.
The software developers must be laughing all the way to the bank with the rubbish systems they have sold HMRC.
Whoever is responsible for signing them off as fit for purpose should be ashamed of themselves but instead they will have been paid a bonus and probably been nominated for a "gong"
Glad I will probably be retired by the time this shables is foisted on us.

Never fail while they have "mates" in power
