Cancelling authorisation code
Permalink Closed

Hi, Does anyone know if you can cancel a request for an authorisation code for a client?

Hi Georgie,
I'm not sure it can be cancelled but of course it doesn't have to be entered. Is there a problem?

Evening Rob, yes just a lot! After I requested authorisation my client (ex) disclosed something which I do not want to associate myself with....

Evening Georgie, ok no real problem, requesting the authorisation doesn't automatically mean you have it. Not sure if you have requested authorisation before or just sent in paper 64-8's but HMRC will send your ex client a letter saying you had requested it and if they are happy for you to be the agent to pass the code to you for you to enter it on-line, in which case you don't!
Now whether you have a possible case to report under money laundering regulations is a different thing altogether....

Morning Rob,

I just want to disassociate myself from them ASAP and wanted to stop even the letter going out. Nothing to do with money laundering but let's just say I am really uneasy.

Morning Georgie,

Yes we sometimes find unsavoury types wanting to use us. I agree disassociate yourself from anyone like that. I have done it a couple of times, thankfully the vast majority of clients are fine. Hope it goes well for you.

I had a similar situation, although I had done some work for the guy and he refused to pay part of my bill. So I cancelled the authorisation online but amazingly Ive still received two calls from HMRC, but it was from their debt collection department so I took great delight in that!! Oh and they then made sure I was removed!

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
