Is TaxQuay HMRC recognised?+
Not yet. TaxQuay is completing HMRC’s production recognition process and currently connects to HMRC’s sandbox environment for testing. It must not be used to file a live production return until that process is complete.
Does TaxQuay store my Government Gateway password?+
No. You sign in directly on HMRC’s website and authorise TaxQuay using OAuth 2.0. TaxQuay receives an access token, which is encrypted and stored server-side.
Can an accountant use TaxQuay for clients?+
Yes. The application supports agent connections, organisation workspaces and different roles for owners, accountants, staff and clients.
Can I change a return after it has been filed?+
A submitted VAT return is not simply overwritten. TaxQuay helps record the error and determine whether it should be adjusted on a later return or disclosed separately to HMRC under the current correction process.
What information goes into the CSV template?+
Ordinary transaction details: date, reference, description, net amount, VAT amount and transaction type. The technical VAT-box mapping stays visible during review without making customers enter technical field names.
