HMRC launch MTD support for tax agents

Through this new initiative, agents can register their interest for a further MTD readiness discussion with HMRC.

HMRC will triage outreach and, depending on the level of interest and volume of impacted clients/testing sign-ups, a range of engagement activities may be offered to agents who complete the form. This could include further information via email, virtual Peer Group Sessions via Microsoft Teams and direct one to one support discussion (where appropriate).  All forms of engagement will be virtual but will aim to capture the spirit of a face-to-face event.

Register your interest

Agents can register their interest by completing a new form on GOV.UK. When completing the form, agents will be asked to give permission to be contacted by HMRC by email; indicate how many of their clients are currently in testing; indicate how many of their clients will be in MTD and confirm they are interested in a conversation with HMRC about MTD readiness and testing.

To access the form, agents should sign in with the Government Gateway ID and password linked to their Agent Services Account (ASA). If agents who wish to complete the form do not yet have an ASA, they can still complete the expression of interest form by signing in with their Government Gateway ID and password associated with their existing HMRC online services for agents’ accounts. If using this method, agents must manually provide contact details.

Once a form is submitted, HMRC will review responses and triage contact based on the information provided. 

ATT resources and support

The ATT has a range of MTD resources for members and the public, which are available via their MTD landing page. 

The ATT are also holding MTD peer discussion groups, where attendees can share and discuss their practical concerns around MTD and support each other in an open form. These discussion groups are open to CIOT members also.

The ATT will also be running a MTD – your technical questions answered webinar on 2 October 2025 to help explain areas of uncertainty. Questions can be submitted in advance to [email protected] with the subject ‘MTD webinar’ by 19 September and ATT will do their best to include as many as they can on the day.
