Setting up VAT Returns for newly registered business

Hi.I have been hired by a local trader to input his sales and purchase invoices and submit his VAT returns monthly. He has no computer accounts package and records it all in a book. I have set up a quickfile account to post his invoices and hoping to be able to submit his VAT return via quickfile. The owner has just registered for VAT in late January and wants me to start submitting his returns from February so have three weeks left. How do I set up making his vat returns online via making tax digital on quickfile. How does quickfile interact with hmrc. I assume the owner will have to pass his vat online access details to me or how does it work

Most of that is answered here.

There are a lot of articles in the knowledge base that will answer other related queries I think.

No he should not be passing his online account details over to you.

If you are an agent you should have your own agent account and have authorisation to file on his behalf.

I’m guessing you don’t have PII insurance either if anything goes wrong.
