UK VAT Returns
The UK VAT returns are generally submitted once in a month or once in three months. However, most VAT returns are done quarterly. If your business’s annual VAT liability is over GBP 2.3 million then you have to make an account on the last day of every second month and third month of every quarter. After registration, a business is assigned to any of the three VAT stagger groups which determine the VAT quarters and the deadline for submission. The UK Vat returns have been done electronically since 2012.
The VAT Return Mainly Records Things For The Financial Period Like:
- Total sales and purchases
- The VAT amount you owe
- The VAT amount you can claim for refund
- Your VAT refund amount from HMRC
Please note that you have to submit your UK VAT Returns even if you don’t have any VAT to pay or claim for a refund.
If you trade a foregin company in UK which is not established in the UK you should submit the VAT registration application to: HMRC Non Established Taxable Persons Unit (NETPU) HM Revenue & Customs, Ruby House, 8 Ruby Place, Aberdeen, Scotland, AB10 1ZP.
If you are a non-established business owner and you use an agent like Meru Accounting to register on your behalf, then they will register your company online or with a local VAT Registration Unit. If you are a non european business owner you can appoint a remote tax agent who will work as your fiscal representative and will help you with any tax returns, tax interest or penalties due.

UK VAT Refunds
The tax authorities automatically do VAT refunds to the bank account of your company. It takes 10 – 15 days to get a refund. The tax authorities sometimes carry an audit before accepting returns.
You need a UK bank account to get your refunds via bank transfer. If you do not have one, HMRC will issue a cheque, or you need to open a UK bank account. The tax authorities may ask additional questions or carry an audit before accepting a repayment.
VAT Penalties In The UK
In general, there is no penalty for a late VAT return if the payment is made on time. However, if you miss one return, a warning called “Surcharge Liability Notice” may be initiated. In case the Surcharge Liability Notice has not met, a surcharge of 2% of the VAT due will be charged. The penalty will increase to 15% if you delay further.
