- HMRC is cleaning up agent registrations and has emailed all agents to provide details of their agent codes for self assessment, VAT, and corporation tax by 8 November 2024
- Only one response is required per legal entity (sole practitioner, partnership, or incorporated agent firm)
- An agent code is issued by HMRC when an agent firm first contacts HMRC for access to online services
- Firms need to identify if their codes for SA, VAT, and corporation tax are in use, still needed, or no longer needed
- The information should be reported to HMRC by completing an online form by 8 November 2024
- HMRC will contact firms if more information is needed or if the form is not completed by the deadline
- ICAEW advises that the email is not a scam and the right person within each firm should complete the form to ensure continued access to online services
