HMRC changing business bank account

[louie]

Hi,

I have just changed my business bank account and I pay for VAT via direct debit. I am enrolled for HMRC online services and they say here that I can change it online, however I don't see any option to change it. Anyone done this recently?

Once you are logged in, click on "Change registration details" - there you can set the bank account that any repayments get paid into. You can't change the direct debit instruction via the HMRC - you must do this yourself directly with your bank.

Thanks Greg, when logged in I only see "Change registration details" under the VAT section, not at the top level. Is that the place you mean?

How is that relevant?

Yep, that's the place I mean. Good luck!

I just get a form asking for VAT details nothing about bank accounts.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to eek again.

Turns out I need to fax it.

I don't get it? You can change bank accounts without changing accountants?
