VAT

In the wake of the continuing coronavirus crisis, a welcome bit of good news for business owners is that the government has confirmed that all VAT payments for the upcoming quarter have now been temporarily deferred, enabling companies to pay other liabilities – such as suppliers and staff – ahead of HMRC while cash flow is tight.

This does not mean that the VAT bill has been cancelled altogether, but rather the date which this is now due has been extended due to the unprecedented situation businesses are finding themselves in. The VAT deadline has been deferred until 31st December, and all VAT-registered companies are eligible for this extension regardless of the size, sector, or financial position of the business.

More about VAT

The deferral of the upcoming VAT bill is an automatic entitlement available to all VAT-registered companies, meaning there is no application process necessary, nor any need to confirm with HMRC that you would like to take advantage of this scheme.

One important point to consider is that businesses which have an active direct debit set up with HMRC to facilitate the collection of VAT payments will need to make sure this is cancelled if they wise to take advantage of the deferral scheme, otherwise the money owed will be taken from the account as usual.

Therefore if you are struggling solely with VAT payment concerns for the upcoming quarter, you do not need to arrange a TTP at this point. Instead you should use the breathing space offered to ensure you are in a position to pay the outstanding VAT by the end of the year.
