This notification generally indicates that an incorrect HMRC account is linked to your InstantVAT account.

To address this issue, please follow these steps:

2. Re-link HMRC Account:

  • Navigate to your InstantVAT account settings.
  • Disconnect the currently linked HMRC account.
  • Re-establish the link by selecting the appropriate HMRC account tied to your VAT-registered business.

3. Check VAT Registration Details:

  • Ensure that your VAT registration number and business information are accurately entered in your HMRC account.
