Press Releases
Online VAT deadlines
Midgley Snelling Chartered Accountants are warning businesses that HMRC has announced that VAT returns covering periods ending after 31 March 2012 will have to be submitted online rather than in paper form.
James Beecher from firm said “Since 1 April 2010 most VAT-registered businesses have had to submit online returns and pay electronically. At the moment, the only businesses which have been exempt have been registered for a long time and have an annual turnover of below £100,000, although they too will have to file online from April next year”.
Penalties for not submitting online returns start at £100 and increase according to annual turnover. It is therefore important to register for online services via HMRC’s website as soon as possible.
