Does anyone have any tips for getting an agent code from HMRC using form AM100?
HMRC are giving us the run around with regards to the money laundering supervisory body. Schedule 1 of the Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 includes the Law Society as one of the professional bodies but HMRC say that they have not been able to confirm our money laundering supervision with the SRA or Law Society.
When trying to resolve this the Law Society send us to the SRA and the SRA then send us back to the Law Society and neither seem to know what we are talking about.
HMRC won’t provide any guidance apart from referring us to their website and the above regulations. Bearing in mind HMRC must have registered thousands of law firms by now you would think that they would be able to provide some guidance as to how other firms have managed to get their agent code.
Thanks
