Yes. You can securely connect to HMRC from within Inform Direct and grant us authority to retrieve the VAT dates of any clients that you have linked to your HMRC agent services account (ASA). Doing this will enable Inform Direct to automatically update and display your clients important VAT dates and to send you email reminders when a client VAT deadline is approaching.

When you connect to HMRC and authorise the link with Inform Direct you will need the following details:

• The login credentials and password of the agent services account (ASA) linked to your firm’s Unique Tax Reference (UTR).
• The device that you normally use to complete two-factor authentication.

VAT return due dates are retrieved overnight after your HMRC account is linked and the VAT number is added. If Inform Direct cannot retrieve the correct date, a warning alert will appear on the company dashboard.
