Removing Linked Users
Removing Linked Users
As of v1.0.474, you can remove users who have previously been linked to your account on the platform. This gives account owners and administrators full control over user access to your Making Tax Digital (MTD) compliance workspace.
Overview
When a user is no longer required — for example, a former accountant, bookkeeper, or co-owner — you can unlink them from your account. Once removed, they will lose access to your MTD submissions, transaction data, income/expense records, and any other information associated with your account.
How to Remove a Linked User
- Navigate to Account Settings and select the Users or Linked Users section.
- Locate the user you wish to remove from the list of currently linked users.
- Click the Remove (or Unlink) action next to that user's entry.
- Confirm the removal when prompted.
The user will be immediately unlinked and will no longer have access to your account.
Important Notes
- Immediate effect: Removal takes effect straight away. The user will lose access as soon as the action is confirmed.
- No data is deleted: Removing a linked user only revokes their access. Any transactions, submissions, or records they interacted with remain intact on your account.
- Re-adding users: If you need to restore access for a previously removed user, you can add them again through the standard user-linking flow.
- Audit trail: User removal events are recorded in the platform audit trail for compliance and accountability purposes.
Who Can Remove Users?
Only account owners and administrators have permission to remove linked users. Standard users do not have access to user management functions.
