HMRC on a mission regarding VAT exemption on UK exports

Afternoon All

I spotted this one yesterday and thought it was worth sharing. Seems that HMRC are targeting UK exporters who claim VAT relief on UK export sales as many are not export compliant and cannot prove the goods actually left the UK.

We've noticed that HMRC are becoming more vigilant on the import side too, where of course there are sometimes richer pickings as Import Duty is also involved.

Key thing here is to make sure you have a solid process to demonstrate Customs compliance so that if HMRC do make a visit, you won't have that sinking feeling as there are gaps in your process or paper trail We carry out Customs compliance for many of our customers so that they are sure that the freight forwarder has made accurate declarations, and should we get a visit, we can find the records very easily and any Customs visit is a breeze.

Kind Regards
