Hi, I have registered for Agent account and gotten the agent reference. I solely deal with PAYE, when I am going through the steps to register as an agent on gateway, its asking me to put in self assessment agent code, I dont deal with SA, is there any way around this?

Hi Barry,

How to enrol a service
To enrol a tax service, you must:
1.    Sign into your HMRC online services account using your Government Gateway user ID and password
2.    Select ‘Services you can add’ in the left hand menu
3.    Find the service you want in the list and click on ‘Enrol for service’
4.    Enter your agent code and postcode when asked
You’ll then see a confirmation screen, confirming that you have enrolled a tax service.
To activate the tax service, you’ll need an activation code.
You’ll get this in the post from HMRC and it can take up to 7 days to arrive.

How to activate the service
Once you’ve received your activation code in the post, you can activate the service. To do this you must:
1.    Sign into your HMRC online services account using your Government Gateway user ID and password
2.    Select ‘Services you can add’ in the left hand menu
3.    Find the service you want in the list and click on ‘Activate service’
4.    Enter your activation code when asked
You’ll then be given access to the tax service and it will be added to your HMRC online services account.

Thank you.
