Convert VAT agent in UK

Hello there I want to change tax agent in UK *I am out side of UK I need some information or help from ex agent? I just can make contract with new agent? Thanks

You contact your new tax agent and they will send you a 64-8 form which will give them the right to contact HMRC on your behalf. The form will also be sent to HMRC and HMRC will update their records. If you need information from your ex agent, the new agent can contact the ex agent, but if you have outstanding invoices with the ex agent, the ex agent may be slow to assist the new tax agent or may even refuse to co-operate with the new agent, it depends on what information you want from the ex agent. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tax-agents-and-advisers-authorising-your-agent-64-8

Hi,

If you are looking to change your tax agent then you would need to approach this agent so that they can act for you. You would not need to contact the old agent as the new agent authority will supercede the old agent. You can see guidance here:
