When
creating a new group entity, you will first need to add your group
representative and provide the mandatory information. Mandatory
fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
Once
you have created your group representative entity and authorised
it, you will then be able to add your group members.
From
the Entity management screen, select Add
new entity. Click
on the Licence type drop down list and select AlphaVAT
– group representative. Type
in the Entity name. Type in the Entity’s 9-digiit
VAT Registration number.
Care should be taken when typing in the VRN, since this cannot
be changed once the entity has been created. If you make a
mistake, you will need to delete the entity and create it
again. Select
the folder that you
would like your entity to reside in. Type
in the Principal place of
business (e.g. London). You may also add a short
name for the entity, change the VAT group name (which defaults
to your entity’s name) and you can select the month that the
VAT year starts. These fields are not mandatory and
can be left blank. You
can now choose the following:
Add entity: This
will add your new entity into the system. You
will then be a authorise it later. Add and authorise entity:
This will add your entity to the system and automatically
initiate the authorisation process (see Authorise
a group entity). Cancel: This will
cancel the creation of the group entity.
