- HMRC is contacting agents with at least two overdue VAT returns, requiring resolution by 7 February 2026.
- Agents must submit all outstanding VAT returns and pay any VAT due by the deadline, or contact HMRC if unable to pay in full.
- Failure to comply may result in suspension of agent codes, public interest disclosure to professional bodies, and additional VAT assessments.
- Agents who are no longer trading must cancel their VAT registration after filing all outstanding and final VAT returns; retrospective cancellation is not allowed.
