Title: VAT AUTHORISATION PROBLEM


If you are encountering the error CLIENT_OR_AGENT_NOT_AUTHORISED, which is generated from the HMRC side, please follow the steps below to resolve the issue:


1. Verify VAT Settings and Credentials: Ensure that the information under VAT Settings and your credentials are accurate. Any discrepancies in this information can lead to authorisation problems.


2. Re-authorise Capium: Navigate to MTD >> View VAT Details >> Authorize Software and select "Click here to authorise for (client_name) only" to obtain the new VAT periods from HMRC. This will re-authorise Capium to submit the VAT Returns as third-party software.


3. Reauthorisation: The authorisation link with HMRC will expire after a specified duration for clients, necessitating reauthorisation in compliance with HMRC's guidelines. Utilise the 'Authorise software' section for reauthorization and wait for HMRC to update the obligation.


4. Verify Credentials: It is crucial to ensure that the credentials used during the authorisation process are accurate; otherwise, HMRC will not finalise the process.


5. Contact HMRC: If the process remains incomplete after an extended duration, we advise contacting HMRC for clarification and verifying the credentials you utilised to complete the process.
