Self assessment - authorise an agent.
You can authorise a new agent (Usually an accountant or bookeeper) to act on your behalf in connection with your Self Assessment affairs and this will overide your previous authorisation. (This will also include National Insurance, any current Tax Credit claims and if applicable, any employment records). Once authorised, it allows HM Revenue & customs (HMRC) to exchange information about your self Assessment affairs with your new agent or existing agent and to deal with them on any matters within the responsibilities of HMRC.
