Question

MTD for VAT

I was asked to reconnect my MTD for VAT credentials to submit a VAT return for a company I do bookkeeping for. I put in my own HMRC account in error, I should've put the clients VAT account details in. Now I cant get it changed and I am going around in circles. I suspect it is a Quickbooks issue and not an HMRC one. I will call them tomorrow (after bank holiday) but doubt they will be able to help. Found this is the help notes:

 

When setting up MTD in QuickBooks Online, it is essential to use the correct credentials. Only use your official MTD credentials provided by HMRC via email. Do not attempt to use any other login information as this may cause issues with authentication and could lead to delays in submitting your VAT return or possibly even failure of submission altogether.

 

Anyone any idea how to resolve it - submission due 7 June !

 

TIA

 

John

It says:

 

We cant connect to HMRC now lets, check some things out. And there's a Take Action button to press . When presses it asks

 

1. if you've signed up for MTD,

2. Is your VAT no correct

3. Have you had an email to confirm you signed up.

I wonder if it is as simple as removing MTD status and then adding it back in again ? OR will that be a minefield ?
