it's been a while since I wrote my last blog update but I've moved house and jobs in the last few months so had zero time.
Today's blog update is regarding HMRC and applying for the government gateway.
To carry out any work for clients you are required to have a gateway code, be registered as an agent, and set your self up for "services you can use" . You can whilst waiting for these things use clients codes (gateway and passwords ) but I strongly advise you to apply for your agent code now as it takes a while to come through.
Firstly register on the government gateway , it takes minutes and they instantly tell you your code. Be sure to write this down or print it off. If you are registering for vat etc you can do this through your government gateway.
Then to register as an agent you need to write to HMRC.
You need your name, business name, business address, UTR number , services you wish to offer, and who your money laundering supervisor is.
This may take around a month or so to come through.
If you need help with this or anything else don't hesitate to email me donnellynicola7@gmail.com
