Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem?

We requested an Auth Code for on-line VAT for a client and have received the VT code from the client clicked on the request(s) awaiting entry of code but now the client is missing?

We only entered it last week and have even looked on the already authorised client list and isnt there either?

    Have you got more than one staff memeber on your Gateway account?

    We had a similar issue in that when we entered the code, the client vanished.

    You then have to go to gateway.gov.uk, manage clients, assign clients to staff member(s)

    Then go back to hmrc.gov.uk and they will appear in the client list.

    I don't get why they felt the need to have the gateway.gov.uk and the hmrc.gov.uk portals, it's ridiculous.

    However, if your client has vanished before you enter the VT code then I'm not sure... But do try looking in Gateway. Did the code expire?

    I had this for my first two authorisations. I am the only user as well. I called HMRC helpline and they did something. I then had to do the authorisation process again and it has worked fine since (touch wood).

    I had a client who was removed recently because an item of mail had been returned to HMRC so they put them on the 'missing trader register' and froze their VAT registration.

    I had the same problem, I rang hmrc online help line and reported it over the phone and then within approx 3 days they got it appearing on my auth client list. You need to report the problem to them and they will sort it - fingers crossed x
