HMRC Extends Time Limit for VAT Registration Replies: Now 40 Days Instead of 30

• HMRC has extended the time limit for taxpayers to receive a reply after applying for VAT registration from 30 days to 40 days
• The 40-day limit change also applies to VAT registration notices for cancelling registration and group/divisional registration, which previously had a 15-day time limit
• Notices (VAT Notice 700/11) – Cancelling your VAT registration and (VAT Notice 700/2) – Group and divisional registration have been updated.
