You
create your demo entity in exactly the same way that you would
create a real single entity.
From the Entity management
screen, select Add new entity. Click on the Licence type and select the Demo - Single entity from
the drop-down list.
Note: You cannot
create a group entity as a demo entity.
Important: Licences
are not assigned to demo entities, only to real entities. You
can create as many demo entities as you need to, without it impacting
your licence numbers.
In the Entity Details
section, fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory
and must be completed, even for a demo entity. When you are
completing this section, you should not base it on a real
entity that you might need to create later.
Fill in the Entity
name, VAT registration number and Principal
place of business fields (mandatory). We recommend
typing in a made-up entity name and a random 9-digit number
that is not a real VAT registration number. You can enter a shorter
name or acronym for the entity (optional). You can select a month
from the drop-down list, to indicate the start of the VAT
year for your demo entity (optional). Select the folder
that you want your demo entity to reside under, from the drop-down
list (mandatory). Once you have filled in
all the details required for your demo entity, you can select
one of the following options:
Add entity:
This allows you to create your new demo entity and will
take you back to the Entity management screen. Add and authorise:
This option will be greyed out and you will not be able
to select it. This is due to the demo entity feature being
designed as a simulation tool, that allows users to familiarise
themselves with the system and its features. As such,
it cannot interact directly with HMRC. Cancel: This
will cancel the creation of the entity.
