This message may occur when attempting a VAT reconciliation, VAT submission, or when examining your VAT Obligations List (VAT period list).

You are likely to be receiving this message due to:

• HMRC's 18 month limitation of your last MTD authorisation for the company.


• Using the company file on a different computer to the one that was originally used to authorise AccountEdge for MTD.
