Manage a client’s tax permissions

This article explains how to customise which taxes a client can access and make submissions for.

The practice’s default tax submission and access settings will be applied to all clients, however, you can set specific tax permissions for individual clients and choose which taxes and reports to display and whether to show or hide the tax amounts due, on their Tax Timeline.

Please note:

  • Only practice users with an Admin role can update a client’s tax permissions.
     
  • Updating a client’s tax permissions will override the default settings for the practice for that particular client. If the relevant box is later unticked, the client’s tax permissions will revert back to the practice’s default settings.

Customising a client’s tax permissions

Log in to your Practice Dashboard and select the client’s name from the list to view their client profile.
