- Non-UK businesses in a VAT group must now claim UK VAT refunds individually, not through the representative member.
- HMRC will only accept representative member claims if that member directly incurred the VAT.
- For claims covering 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, HMRC will accept claims from either the individual member or the representative member if submitted by 31 December 2026.
- Businesses can ask HMRC to reconsider certain rejected claims made since 1 January 2021 where rejection was because the representative member did not submit them; requests must be emailed by 31 August 2027.
