Originally posted by Craig@Clarity View PostThe three point criteria is less than £10k, not deliberate and less than four years. This then branches out to the reporting thresholds.
You can use the advised method as it's below £10k OR between £10k-£50k but less than 1%. You use form VAT652 if the error is between £10k-£50k and more than 1% OR the error is more than £50k.
Have a read of their guidance below, in particular 4.3. Also note about informing them of the adjustment if they penalise you and you want to appeal.

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI read it as the reporting threshold needs to be all three (less than £10K, less than 4 years, and less than 1%) are you saying it's a one or the other "less than 10K and 4 years" or "less than 1%"?

Originally posted by Craig@Clarity View PostJust correct it on your next VAT return as the reporting threshold is £10k+. How far does the error go back? If it's for an accounting period that ended less than 4 years ago, just do it this way.

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostJust about to hit my 10 year anniversary of doing my own books and I've finally made a mistake with my VAT returns, I reckon the value of my cock up is about £7k which is above the reporting threshold to self correct on the next return.
I have emailed HMRC so will see what happens when they get back to me, from what I have read the penalty is up to 30% so possibly another £2k + interest if I plan for the worse and hope for the best.
