Two-step verification (2SV) for tax agents and intermediaries became compulsory from the 28 April. As of 20 May, 81% have now set up 2SV which is a great result.

Resetting two-step verification
Owners, administrators and restricted administrators can reset 2SV for people within their tax agency through the manage agency function in the Intermediary centre. Users will receive an email once this has been reset.
