I used to trade as a bookkeeper/accountant and still have an affinity account that i have 2 active ‘clients’ on that i still submit VAT returns for. They are small accounts and are friends. I stopped trading on 2021, and HMRC have now suspended my agent services account. Does this mean i am now unable to submit the VAT return ? I am thinking that my ‘client’ should register as an Organisation for MTD for VAT through the GG, do HMRC then provide ‘client’ with a code or something that i can input into my Affinity Account
It wouldn’t involve your affinity account as such - they’d have to sign up for MTD and link their own HMRC tax account directly to their own QuickFile account. You should still be able to submit the returns by logging in to the QuickFile account (presumably via your affinity) but they would be the ones who have to renew the permission every 18 months.
