HMRC have an Information Sheet which they are issuing to taxpayers where they were in the process of a VAT compliance review as “lockdown” started. In it HMRC advise that they will:
“now continue with the compliance work we told you we had put on temporary hold.”
There is a sense therefore that HMRC work patterns may be starting to return to normal therefore.
There is also the acknowledgement that the COVID 19 impact will be difficult for tax payers.
