Advanced electronic signature (for agents)

[TooManyTabs]

Hi
Can anyone advise me on the new advanced electronic signature for tax agents, please?

I have some CIS clients who will be expecting repayments.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have not heard anything, where did you hear about any changes?

Hi DWS
Have a little peep on the HMRC website (I am not allowed to send link) google Receive income tax or PAYE repayments on behalf of others HMRC.

I need some assistance, please. I have three CIS clients, and for the 2023/24 tax year, I submitted their tax returns as their nominee (I am an agent). I provided all the required information that HMRC requested, and I received the repayment.

I’ve recently heard that starting April 2025, HMRC will require an advanced electronic signature. Could someone explain this in more detail? While I understand what an electronic signature is in general, I’m unsure about what HMRC specifically expects from me.

From my research, I believe that both my client and I need to sign a letterhead agreeing on the details of the tax return. Should this signed document then be attached to the tax return when submitting it?

The way I read it is that it only affects refunds for P87, R40 and Marriage Allowance claims, I may be wrong as only had a quick look but can see nothing about CIS refunds.

ok, thanks. I read it as any form of repayment so theres a legal binding in place between the client and agent in any event shall a client not receive thier repayment.
