- HMRC’s Form VAT1614J has been updated for revoking an option to tax (OTT) after 20 years have passed.
- The form and supporting documents should now be sent to the new address: BT VAT, HM Revenue and Customs, BX9 1WR.
- Scanned copies of the form can also be emailed to [email protected].
- A business can revoke an OTT without prior permission from HMRC if more than 20 years have elapsed since the option first had effect.
- The revocation will take effect from the day specified by the taxpayer when notifying HMRC.
- Revoking an OTT has several outcomes, including exempting any income relating to the property, making input tax unrecoverable, and potentially requiring a business to deregister if no other taxable supplies are made.
