VAT
HMRC have deferred all VAT payments falling due between 20 March 2020 and 30 June 2020.
There is no application to make, it is automatically done. They have confirmed there will be no interest or penalties providing payments are brought up to date by 31 March 2021.
**If you pay by Direct Debit you will need to cancel with your bank or payment will be taken as normal**
Returns showing refunds will continue to be repaid as normal in this period.
It is expected that payments of liabilities due form 1 July 2020 will be due as normal.
Please note this does not apply to VAT MOSS or import VAT payments.

I developed valuable skills in commercialisation through my work in the science and technology department at the Scottish University. Then, in 2002, I formed my own internet-based marketing company, producing and distributing 360° virtual reality tours for the Scottish tourism sector.
