- VAT grouping allows multiple entities to be treated as a single taxable person for VAT purposes, simplifying administration.
- Pros include only one VAT return per quarter, no VAT on intra-group supplies, improved partial exemption position, potential cashflow benefits, and reduced risk of penalties on intra-group charges.
- Cons include joint and several liability for VAT debts, only one partial exemption limit for the group, potential administrative challenges, new VAT number issuance, and group-wide limits for disclosures and payments on account.
