What You Need to Know About VAT Return

If you are a business registered for VAT in the UK, filing a VAT return is a legal requirement. It must be submitted to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on a regular basis to report your VAT liability, sales, and purchases, ensuring compliance with VAT regulations.

Registration Threshold

Registration Threshold

If the taxable supplies of your business exceed the registration threshold of £85,000, you are required to register for VAT, comply with Making Tax Digital (MTD) rules and submit regular VAT returns to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

Submission and Payment

Submission and Payment

VAT returns must be submitted to HMRC within one month and seven days after the end of the VAT accounting period. Along with the VAT return, any VAT liability owed to HMRC must also be paid by the submission deadline.

Reporting Periods

Reporting Periods

VAT returns are usually filed on a quarterly basis, although some businesses may be required to file monthly or annually. VAT liability is reported on these VAT returns, calculated based on the Output VAT and Input VAT.

Penalties for Late Filing

Penalties for Late Filing

Late filing of quarterly VAT returns incurs penalty points from HMRC. Accumulating four penalty points results in a £200 financial penalty and subsequent late filings attract a £200 penalty. Different penalty point thresholds apply for monthly and annual VAT returns.
