- Importance of Compliance: Understanding the statute of limitations for VAT in the UK is crucial to avoid missed deadlines and financial penalties. It sets the timeframe for adjusting VAT returns and determines how long HMRC can investigate VAT liabilities.
- Timelines for Claims: Input VAT must be claimed within four years from the due date of the return in which the VAT was due. For pre-registration inputs, VAT on goods can be claimed within four years, and on services within six months before VAT registration.
- Error Correction and Penalties: Significant missed claims or underdeclared VAT must be corrected using a VAT 652 Error Correction Notice. HMRC can investigate and collect unpaid VAT for up to 20 years in cases of deliberate inaccuracies or fraud
