Hi Bik
When someone first registers for VAT and HMRC assigns a quarter to the business, many don't bother to sort this out, if it doesn't align to the year end. It makes life much easier for the accounting year end if it aligns with the year and it's very easy to change.
Log in to the online account, either with the clients login or your agent code. Go to Change Registration Details, then VAT Return Frequency. You will then see a list of the 3 other quarters that you can change to, select the one you want and submit.
The VAT office will then, over the next few days, change the account appropriately, providing they accept it. For example, if you were to do this for your client in the next week or two, the VAT office will probably inform you that you will need to submit a one month return in March, then begin 3 monthly from April onwards, which is what you want.
I would do this sooner rather than later.
Hope this helps
Carol
