Havent recieved VAT return

[Archangel]

May be the returns got lost with the CD's the HMRC seemed to have lost as well http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme...ox/7076106.stm

I also read in City AM that the HMRC has admitted to 41 lap tops going missing from there office in the last 9 months, they do seem to loose a lot of stuff.

Same here. Mine is due at the end of this month and haven't received the green form yet.

I had this problem last quarter. I phoned them and they said it had already been sent weeks earlier but they would send a duplicate anyway.

Two days later I get the duplicate and in the same post the original?
Fishy or what!

Is it any wonder we pay so much tax if they have to send everthing twice.

I did ask about doing it online but the HRMC implied I couldnt switch as I was already paper based you could only apply to do online during registration , I will check their site.

Pah. You get Your Co to sign upto the government gateway then you can do what you like. Register for VAT Online, PAYE Online (P45s etc) also do year end for PAYE Online - great is you use something like sage as it submits the forms for you.

same as me - just range up though and got a replacement through within 4 days.

I blames it on those posties building up a backlog

Sign upto VAT online. Takes 3 mins a quarter if that to do.

Nope, shan't. I have a policy of using paper for tax as far as possible. Since HMRC's entire existence is to cost me time, money and grief, I see no need to make their life any easier.

I always used to get my quartley VAT return at least 6 weeks before it was due, however this time it hasnt turned up and its due in a couple of weeks, I rang VAT man and they said you could get the return upto a week before its due cutting it a bit fine. Anyone else see a delay in recieving a return and how soon before it was due did you recieve it ?

Never ever had one turn up less than a month early. Perhaps yours has fallen behind a machine in the local sorting office? I should request a duplicate to be safe

Anyway, not having the form doesn't mean you can't (or shouldn't) pay. If all else fails, send a cheque and covering letter to your VAT office by the due date.
