Paying VAT by cheque – a warning
HMRC have announced a change to the way by which they will process VAT payments. From 1 April, they will treat all cheques sent to them by post as having been received on the date when cleared funds reach HMRC’s bank account. This is a notable departure from the previously generally accepted principle that the date of receipt of the cheque counts as the date of payment.

The New HM Revenue & Customs Penalty Regime
The Finance Act 2007 swept away the old regime for charging penalties on tax lost due to taxpayer “error”. Where in the past it was possible for the astute tax practitioner to be able to negotiate penalties down to a very low level by agreement this facility has been withdrawn.
The new regime also provides for penalty levels to be equalised across all of the major taxes, whether this is corporation tax, income tax, PAYE or VAT. Equally importantly the aim of the new penalty regime is to improve compliance and to encourage taxpayers to take more care with their tax affairs rather than punish innocent errors made in good faith.
