Changes to VAT penalties and interest
At CavanaghKelly, we have a team of experienced professionals dedicated to offering Payroll and VAT services to our clients, and ensuring they are up to date with all process and system changes.
For VAT return periods starting from 1 January 2023 onwards, the VAT default surcharge regime has been replaced by a new penalty system with separate penalties for late submission of VAT returns and late payment of VAT. The new system has also changed the way in which interest is calculated when taxpayers are late in paying HMRC and vice versa. For ease, we have summarised in this article, the key changes as reported by HMRC. To read more from the HMRC website click here.
