Common VAT Payment Issues: Questions, Penalties, and Solutions for Businesses in Financial Difficulty

  • If you can’t pay your VAT bill, act quickly—contact your bank, financial adviser, or HMRC’s Regional Debt Management Unit for help.
  • Late payment penalties apply: 2% of unpaid VAT after 15 days, increasing to 4% after 30 days, plus a daily penalty of 4% per annum after 31 days.
  • Assessments may be issued if VAT returns are late or incorrect, and these become part of your debt.
  • Schemes like Cash Accounting, Annual Accounting, Flat Rate Scheme, and Bad Debt Relief may help manage or reduce VAT payments.
