- HMRC will introduce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for tax agents starting April 7, 2026.
- Agents will initially see a notification after signing in, advising that MFA will soon be required.
- Once MFA is enabled, agents must enter an access code during sign-in; the notification will then disappear.
- The sign-in process will align with the MFA process already used by individuals and organizations.
- No changes will be made to authentication for Transaction Engine API, SOAP-based APIs, or the 18-month authorisation process.
