- HMRC has replaced form VAT652 with an online VAT error correction system for greater efficiency.
- Errors under £10,000, or between £10,000 and £50,000 (if less than 1% of sales), can be corrected in the next VAT return; larger errors must be reported directly to HMRC.
- Businesses use Government Gateway credentials for online corrections; agents can also submit on behalf of clients.
- VAT-exempt businesses may notify errors by post or email, providing detailed information about the error and adjustments.
- Adjusting errors in a VAT return does not count as formal notification for penalty reduction if HMRC considers the error careless.
