HMRC have issued a rundown of estimated turnaround times for requests for agent authorisation for self assessment, saying advisers who wish to be effective before 31 January should apply online by 15 January or post form 64-8 by 23 December.
Taxpayers’ applications for self assessment registration should be sent by mail no later than 20 December.
Estimated turnarounds – below – are based on current work plans and transaction volume forecasts. The times are end to end: the duration an adviser should allow after issuing the form for the authorisation/application to become effective.
The Revenue has asked that advisers whose applications fall within the turnaround times do not contact the department, diverting resources away from processing applications.
| Transaction | Form | Time in weeks |
| Online agent authorisation | n/a | Two |
| Paper agent authorisation where there is an existing record | 64-8 | Five |
| SA registrations, including those accompanying form 64-8 | SA1, CWF1, SA400, SA401, SA402 or online equivalents | Six |
