Hi,

You are are able to register a client for VAT as an overseas agent.

How to register your client for a tax service as an agent

In order to complete Making Tax Digital returns for your clients you will firstly have to register for a agent services account and then you can act as the agent for the purpose of completing VAT returns for your client.

Apply for an agent services account if you're not based in the UK

Thank you.
