Value Added Tax

Guidance

This guidance note examines several important VAT-specific penalties, namely penalties for:

•
failure to keep VAT records and digital records
•
failure to notify changes of VAT registration details
•
failure by an online marketplace to display VAT registration number
•
failure to file a VAT return using functional compatible software

Failure to keep VAT records and digital records

If a business fails to keep VAT records as required by HMRC for at least six years (unless a shorter retention period has been agreed in writing with HMRC), it will potentially be subject to a penalty.

A penalty of £500 can be charged for this failure.

Alternatively HMRC may seek to apply a daily penalty for general regulatory breaches. The amount of such a penalty is the greater of:

•
an amount equal to the ‘prescribed daily rate’ multiplied
