VAT Assessment,
Reviews and Challenges

At My Tax Consultants, we offer expert assistance with VAT assessments, reviews, and challenges, ensuring that your business remains compliant with VAT laws and that any discrepancies are addressed effectively. Whether you’re facing an unexpected VAT assessment from HMRC, need a review of your VAT returns, or want to challenge any VAT-related decisions, we are here to provide the necessary support and guidance.

What is a VAT Assessment?

A VAT assessment occurs when HMRC evaluates your VAT submissions and concludes that there may be an underpayment or overpayment. This assessment can be based on discrepancies in your VAT returns, invoices, or any other supporting documentation. A VAT assessment can result in you being required to pay additional VAT, penalties, or interest charges.

If you receive a VAT assessment, it’s crucial to understand the basis for the assessment and whether it is accurate. Our team at My Tax Consultants can review the assessment and determine whether it is valid or if any adjustments are necessary.

VAT Reviews: Why You Need Them

A VAT review involves a thorough examination of your business’s VAT records and returns to ensure that they comply with UK VAT regulations. Regular VAT reviews are vital for identifying potential errors or areas of concern before they escalate into serious issues with HMRC.

By conducting VAT reviews regularly, businesses can ensure that:

  • VAT returns are filed accurately and on time.
  • VAT deductions and claims are legitimate.
  • Your VAT systems are compliant with the latest VAT laws and regulations.
  • Any previous mistakes or errors are rectified before they result in penalties or fines.

Our VAT experts can perform a detailed VAT review for your business, helping to identify potential risks and ensure that your VAT procedures are fully compliant with HMRC standards.

Challenging VAT Decisions

If you disagree with a VAT assessment or decision made by HMRC, you have the right to challenge it. VAT challenges can be complex and time-sensitive, which is why having expert guidance is crucial.

My Tax Consultants can help with the following:

  • Reviewing HMRC Decisions: We will review the VAT assessment or decision you’ve received and evaluate whether it is justified.
  • Submitting an Appeal: If we believe the decision is incorrect, we can help you prepare and submit an appeal to HMRC, ensuring that all necessary documentation is included.
  • Representation at VAT Tribunals: If an appeal isn’t resolved in your favour, we can represent you in VAT tribunals, working to have the decision overturned.

Challenging a VAT assessment can sometimes result in a reduction of the VAT owed, removal of penalties, or even a full reversal of the decision. Our team is committed to ensuring that your rights are upheld during this process.
