It is being extended out on a rolling basis, with eligible agents being prompted at log in. Agents with fewer than 2,000 clients may be eligible in early October, and by mid-October, those with fewer than 5,000 clients.
The pre-release version of the service will allow agents to see a list of authorised clients, view tax codes, student loan notices and file forms and returns on their behalf.
The service will also show the same information available to the clients on their Business Tax Account, such as employer liabilities and payments. Currently agents will need to confirm they act for a client before being able to see the liabilities and payments data, but this step will be removed in late October.
