Bit late to register for online return?

An "associate" of mine asked for advice on filing their online TR. However they hadn't even requested the activation code to use the online return.
They applied for the activation code yesterday, is there anyway to speed things up to avoid the fine?

HMRC says, they take about 7 days, but sometimes they do take about 2 working days, and your associate might be lucky.
You have until midnight of 2nd of Feb, or agent can file it using commercial software.0 -

Thank you. I'll let them know this is the best option to avoid a fine. Assuming they can find one that still wants last minute messes to sort out!0

As an agent you can file the tax return even without submitting the 64-8 online using the commercial software. But AFAIK the agent have to register him/herself for online filing! If the associate is not registered online, I am afraid I am pretty sure that the agent can not tax return online. If you get stuck pm me and I know someone who can file the tax return for you.

If you've got all the information prepared and it's just a case of data entry, I'll do it for £50+VAT on Wednesday.Thank you. I'll let them know this is the best option to avoid a fine. Assuming they can find one that still wants last minute messes to sort out!
However, if it's actually a mess.....

Most agents would be set up with HMRC anyway, all the commercial software will need is the agent's log in details and the client's UTR...0 -

However, I did have someoen on the HMRC agent line tell me that even with a UTR it would be too late if the client hadn't registered for online filing themselves. "But I have an agent log in." Oh, really? "Yes, how do you think I've been filing tax returns for the past 6 years?" Oh ,you might be ok then .......
