Choose agents for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

How to use the service

Create an agent services account if you do not already have one. Use your agent services account to ask a client to authorise you . The client will get different consent statements, depending on whether you apply to be a main or supporting agent. This means they’ll know what details you can see and what tasks you can do for them. If you are currently the main agent for your client, it’s your client’s responsibility to tell you if they choose a different main agent to act on their behalf. If they do choose a different main agent, you will lose access to your client’s account. You will remain authorised as a main agent if your client chooses to also appoint other supporting agents to act on their behalf. Supporting agents will also remain authorised if additional supporting agents are required. If the client does not agree to authorise you, we’ll continue to deal with any agent they’ve already authorised.
