VAT legislation and regulations are complex. So it’s understandable that businesses make mistakes on their VAT returns. However, these mistakes can be very costly both in terms of paying the wrong amount of VAT and also triggering a VAT investigation.
You wouldn’t drive your car without it having passed its annual MOT. Well in our view it should be the same when it comes to businesses and VAT.
