VAt Return : Flat Rate Scheme Box 6 value?

[Nathan SJD Accountancy]

Still waiting for my inspection letter.....

Mind you I did sign up for a VAT course and went immediately after I realised I had done it wrong.

HMRC do tend to randomly check VAT returns.

They sent a letter querying a VAT Return to my client relating to a couple of years ago. They asked why box 6 was not the figure they were expecting when compared to box 1, 3 & 5 on a particular return (flat rate).

It was a very straight forward enquiry, but they do carry out random checks.

A good thing I can argue that the wording on box 6 says net instead of gross .....

Just hope it does not turn into an IR35 investigation! ....

I know.

I've met a few contractors who have had their VAT checked.

The majority were fine as their mistakes were over paying rather than underpaying, but one had really screwed up.
