By:Neil Warren15 March 2007 NEIL WARREN considers the procedures for dealing with https://www.taxation.co.uk/Articles/2007/03/15/211581/keep-vat-man-happy VAT errors discovered by a taxpayer or his adviser. KEY POINTSWhat are the voluntary http://www.warringtonaccountants.co.uk/correcting-vat-errors/ disclosure procedures?The three-year time limit for correcting errors.HMRC's treatment of errors MISTAKES ARE INEVITABLE in all aspects of life. VAT accounting is no exception. The consequence will often depend on the severity of the situation and whether the offence has been detected by an HMRC officer on a VAT visit, or been disclosed in advance by a vat error taxpayer when he has discovered an error, e.g. at the end of the financial year. In simple terms, it is best practice to disclose an error to HMRC as soon as it is discovered. In this article, I consider the way that VAT errors should be dealt with by an adviser, or taxpayer, when they are detected, and the HMRC approach to dealing with these errors. It is also a useful opportunity 652 paper form to consider the subject of VAT errors, because HMRC are looking to introduce a new penalty system for all taxes they collect, probably as part of the 2007 Finance Bill. A few comments are included on the proposals at the end of the article. Voluntary disclosure procedures If a taxpayer discovers a VAT error in his books and records, producing either an under or overpayment of tax, he is obliged to correct this error (or errors) at the earliest opportunity. The key rules are as follows: if the net amount of tax involved is less than £2,000, the error can be adjusted on the next VAT return; if the net amount of tax is greater than £2,000, it needs to be corrected by a voluntary disclosure to HMRC. It should be noted that errors of less than £2,000 can also be notified to HMRC by voluntary disclosure and, in such cases, HMRC will not charge interest on any tax underpaid. An important point to remember is that the £2,000 limit is a 'net' figure, which means that a £90,000 underpayment of VAT would not need to be corrected by a voluntary disclosure … as long as overpayments of at least £88,001 were found as well. One of the main benefits of making a v
can only be used for errors of a net value that do not exceed £10,000. It can also be used in certain circumstances for larger errors up to £50,000 but there are strict conditions which mean that it does not apply to the vast majority of traders. It cannot be used for any adjustment relating to a deliberate error. Method 2 is for any error for which Method 1 is not used.If you can use method 1 then you simply adjust your VAT account and include the value of that adjustment on your current VAT return. Whilst this method is easy and straightforward there may be repercussions from using it. If the error was the result of careless conduct then the tax office may impose penalties, and the size of those penalties depends, amongst other factors, on whether you have made a disclosure. Correcting an error using Method 1 is not a disclosure for this purpose. Therefore, if you consider that the error may have been the result of careless conduct you may decide to use method 2 in order to gain the maximum reduction of the penalty.You must use method 2 if:the net value of errors found on previous returns is between £10,000 and £50,000 and exceeds 1% of the box 6 (net outputs) VAT return declaration due for the current return period during which the error was discovered, orthe net value of errors found on previous returns is greater than £50,000, orthe errors on previous returns were made deliberately.You may, if you wish, use this method for errors of any size which are below the limits at paragraph 4.3 above instead of a Method 1 error correction. If you use this method you must not make adjustment for the same errors on a later VAT return.When notifying HMRC of an error correction you should use form VAT 652.
