Guidance on agent authorisation

HMRC has been updating its guidance on agent authorisation in recent months.

As part of this project, the next stage is to begin looking at the guidance under the headings of pre-registration support, registration as an agent, authorisation and transacting.  HMRC will also be reviewing existing content – including those in the links below – to bring this all together in a “user journey” approach, whilst also iterating and improving the content as part of this.

The following pages are now live on GOV.UK including additional pages to support both taxpayers and the agent with the authorisation process:-

• Authorise an agent to deal with certain tax services for you;
• Change or remove your tax agent's authorisation;
• How to register and get authorised as a tax agent to deal with HMRC; and
• How to give staff access to your HMRC online tax agent accounts
