Registered with HMRC to file VAT online using their pilot on January 16th 2019. Been tryin g to submit VAT return for November-January but keep getting following message: You are not yet authorised to view this report for the **VRN ********** . Please ensure your VAT number is correct and you have connected the corresponding HMRC Tax Account. If you have recently enrolled on the MTD scheme please allow 24 hours for HMRC systems to update.
I have checked all details and all correct.
I contacted HMRC today and they said all was OK at their end - all set up and working. I checked the login details with them and all correct and tried to log in via Government Gateway with success - so login details OK.
I need to file VAT return soon otherwise I will be fined.
The problem seems to be with communication between Quick File and HMRC from your end.
Just to confirm, if you log into the HMRC website, using the same credentials for the account linked with QuickFile, you do see the MTD box shown in the following post? MTD linking
If it’s definitely the right tax account, and you registered for MTD on 16th Jan, that certainly sounds a bit strange.
Would you be able to send me a private message please with a screenshot of your HMRC account showing your VAT number and the MTD message? We can raise this with HMRC.
Click on the name or profile picture at the top of any post and it expands into a mini profile “card” for the author - the “message” button is on there.
Quick File account was unlinked from HMRC and then re-linked - then it worked! . Seems that I authorised communication between QuickFile and HMRC before the MTD link was established by HMRC. Handshaking was misaligned on date!
