Introduction and Overview 

  • The Approach to this and all Articles is consistent with our Standard System and Procedure.
  • The necessary work on the appointment of Avar as your Tax Agents has been undertaken:
    • For you personally and partnerships (if applicable).
    • For your Company or LLP (if applicable).
    • For your Trust or Joint Venture (if applicable).
    • The necessary Form(s) 64-8 will be attached separately.
    • It requires your signature in the box above the date.
    • Then, please post it directly to HM Revenue & Customs to the address in note 5.
    • Send us a soft copy for our records.
    • Request making Avar Online Agents will be submitted and a copy sent to you.
    • HM Revenue & Customs will send you a code by post.
    • This must be notified to Avar on receipt as it expires soon thereafter.

What is a Form 64-8?

  • This is a form that you can submit to HM Revenue & Customs.
  • It gives HM Revenue & Customs authority to discuss your tax affairs and deal with your accountant or tax agent directly.
  • HM Revenue & Customs cannot discuss any matter without this form and is therefore very important.
  • This authorisation does not transfer any responsibility to the agent, all responsibility remains with the tax payer.

What is HMRC Authorised to do?

  • HM Revenue & Customs may speak to your advisers on:
  • Individual Tax Affairs.
  • Trust Tax.
  • Partnership Tax Affairs (Each individual will need to sign a separate form 64-8).
  • Pay As You Earn.
  • Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
  • Corporation Tax.
  • If more than one agent is acting for you, a separate form 64-8 is required for each agent.
  • The services that each agent will be dealing with should be made clear on the form.
  • Your agent will be able to receive your Self-Assessment statement if you have requested this.
