New VAT Penalty Regime – Points will make fines not prizes!

The new regime will come into play for VAT for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2022 and creates a “standalone” late submission penalty using a points basis depending on how the VAT return is submitted. When you reach the points threshold, the fixed penalty of £200 is levied. The level of points threshold depends on the taxpayer’s submission frequency: annually = 2 points, quarterly = 4 points, monthly = 5 points.
