VAT Transfer to Ltd company Error

Postby robpierre » Wed Aug 22, 2018 12:48 pm

Hi there

We have a client who did not transfer their vat number across when they incorporated last year (Despite advice to the contrary along with a comprehensive 'how to' ). They have been filing their limited company VAT through their old trading as VAT number.

Has anybody anybody had any experience in this type of problem? Are HMRC likely to issue penalties? I was simply going to write to them explaining the situation and enclose the completed VAT 1 and VAT 68.

Kind regards
R

Letter to HMRC with explanation. Unlikely to trigger penalty.
