# How do I authorise Zoho Books at HMRC?

Starting from November 1, 2022, all VAT registered businesses must use an MTD-compliant software to record and file their VAT returns. You can file your VAT returns directly to the HMRC portal using Zoho Books.

As a prerequisite, make sure you have selected the **I want to file my VAT returns to HMRC through Zoho Books** option in the **VAT Filing Settings** under the _Taxes_ pane.

To authorise Zoho Books at HMRC:

*   Choose your role in filing VAT returns, whether you’re the **admin** of the organisation or an **agent** on behalf of an organisation.
*   In case you’re an **agent** filing VAT returns on behalf of an organisation, then you’ll have to request the **admin** to grant authority at the HMRC Website and enter your **Agent Registration Number**.
*   Acknowledge the terms and conditions.
*   Proceed by clicking **Go to HMRC’s Website**. You’ll be redirected to the HMRC’s website to complete your authorisation process.
*   Click **Continue** to grant permission to Zoho Books.
*   **Sign In** using your HMRC credentials.
*   In the ensuing screen, click **Grant Authority**.

This marks the completion of authorisation of Zoho Books at the HMRC portal. Now, you will be redirected to your Zoho Books organisation where you can file your [**VAT Returns**](/uk/books/help/vat-filing/vat-filing.html).
