Hello, our Client who is a limited company submits their own VAT returns using their HMRC gateway id. They are trying to re-authenticate QB's with HMRC but are being asked to enter the Agent Services Account which they don't have. Can you tell me how they sort this out please, is it because they are logging in with QuickBooks Accountant online version?

As an accountant when we login & follow instructions for cog/accounts & settings/advanced we do not see a VAT option in the list, has this been changed with the recent MTD update?

Hi SallyMcd, yes that's right - QuickBooks recognizes that the user is signed in as an accountant and as such will request to submit MTD using an Agent Services Account. To workaround this, the client can add themselves as a primary or company admin user to the QuickBooks Online account where they will then be able to submit.
