What is the HMRC APPA registration timeline and will we receive direct communications?
APPA registration appears to be largely automatic for currently registered firms. According to members' contacts at HMRC, **existing registered firms will be automatically registered and receive their APPA number mid-February**, so no action is required until then. Members have not yet received formal HMRC letters or communications about APPA—awareness has largely come through the BDA. Some firms are choosing to continue submitting returns as normal this month, then switching to monthly W5 submissions from March onwards once APPA numbers and portal information are available.
