This essential guide provides you with all the tools and information to successfully start your journey in MTD
Getting started
Before being able to interact with the MTD functionality within the IRIS software, there are initial set up steps that need to be taken outside of the software. These are:
You will need to ensure that you have an ASA account (This is the same account as the one you use for MTD VAT). In addition to this you will need either copy over authorisation from your old government gateway account or establish a new authorisation.
Clients must be signed up for MTD manually via the above link. You are able to specify the tax year your client will be joining MTD. HMRC will run eligibility checks on the client being signed up before allowing you to commit the individual for MTD.
