HMRC encourages customers to use its VAT Online service

If you’re running a successful business, you’ll know how crucial it is to keep up to date with developments. From April 2010, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) plan to phase out paper VAT returns which means that any business with an annual turnover of £100,000 or more, and all newly registered VAT businesses, irrespective of turnover, will have to file their VAT returns online and make payment electronically.

HMRC are here to help you make the simple transition to filing your VAT return online and to highlight the benefits that going online brings to your business.

On Tuesday 14 July 2009, we will be offering free help and advice at the Holiday Inn Liverpool, Lime Street.

This event has been designed especially for VAT registered businesses and will be interactive, with opportunities to ask questions at our online services stand.  We will show how to get started with VAT Online, and other online services, and will let you know where to get further help and support if you need it.  There will be a 45-minute online services presentation at various times during the day, so why not call in at a time convenient to you?

HMRC’s VAT Online event takes place on Tuesday 14 July 2009 at the Holiday Inn Liverpool, Lime Street, Liverpool, L1 1NQ. The event will run from 1.00pm to 5.00pm.

Book your free place online here.

You’ll need to book your place in advance and spaces are limited, so please book early.

Big changes are on the way and you need to start preparing now …

under Government proposals it will become compulsory, from April 2010, for VAT registered businesses with an annual VAT exclusive turnover of £100,000 or more and all newly registered businesses to file their VAT returns online and make payment electronically.  Paper returns will still be an option for the remaining VAT registered businesses, but this will be reviewed in the run up to 2012.

We are inviting you to a free event where we will show you:

• how to get started with VAT Online and other online services
• how it will benefit your business
• a demonstration of some of our online services
• what is available now, including information about paying electronically
• what is planned for the future.

This event will be interactive and you will have opportunity to ask us questions.  We will also be giving a 45 minute online services presentation at various times during the event, so why not call in at a time convenient to you?

We will also let you know where to get further help and support if you need it.
