VAT grouping delays - HMRC update

HMRC has found a solution to provide the correct effective date of registration (EDR) for taxpayers who have been affected by VAT grouping registration delays. A process has now been identified that will provide the correct EDR and resolve any related issues. HMRC will be contacting those affected directly to communicate next steps within the next three weeks.

HMRC has a list of impacted taxpayers to contact. If your clients are not contacted in the next three weeks but you believe that they have been impacted, please contact us at [email protected]. This should only apply for cases where the issues were caused by HMRC delays and does not apply more widely.
