HMRC has published new guidance to assist taxpayers on how to deal with errors discovered on submitted VAT returns. The catchy title is: Check if you need to report errors in your VAT Return – Check if you need to notify HMRC about errors that are over the threshold on your VAT Return and find out how to report them.

The guidance sets out how to report errors of £10,000 or more (net of all errors). This broadly comes down to using the online service by completing a form VAT652 or adjusting a current VAT return.
