64-8 processing
HMRC report that in May their figures show that most 64-8 forms received direct by CAAT at Longbenton were dealt with in five working days. In order to keep up the momentum they ask that advisers carry out the following steps:
- Use the online process instead of the paper 64-8 route.
- There is no need to renew the authority to act annually. This only adds to the CAAT workload and will delay the processing of new authorisations. Online users will be able to review authorisations that are current from the client lists provided via this service.
- Do not send 64-8s to local offices unless it is specified as one of the exceptions...
