HMRC and Companies House Agent Authorisation Checklist
About this document
An internal practice checklist that takes each new client (or new service) through every HMRC and Companies House authorisation step, records how and when authority was obtained, and covers your firm’s own registrations – HMRC tax adviser registration and Companies House ACSP status.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
