  • RE: Retailer VAT receipt after the fact

    Hi JustPuzzled AsAlways,
    If a VAT registered business makes a sale to another VAT registered business then a VAT must be issued.
    Please see the guidance below which details the information which a VAT invoice should show.
    16.1 Introduction to VAT invoices
    If you look at section 16.6 of the same guidance it will show the details required to be shown on a simplified invoioce for sales below £250
    This will be a third party dispute between yourself and the retailer but you are within your rights to request a VAT invoice so that you can treat the VAT paid as your input tax.
    Thank you.
  • RE: VAT category for sales of goods to overseas customers, with goods from different origins

    Hi Oak Row,
    If you export goods from the UK overseas then these would be categorised as zero rated exports if the conditions are met below:
    3. Conditions and time limits for zero rating
    If the goods are sold within the EU and move between 2 third countries then this will be categorised as Outside The Scope as the goods do not enter the UK.
    Please see the Place of Supply Rules for the movement of freight both from the UK and from third countries:
    3. Place of supply.
    Thank you.

    Hi M,
    If you believe you have been overcharged National Insurance in the current tax year, we cannot issue a refund as we are still in the tax year, you must contact your employer / ex-employer to request a refund.
    If you believe you have been overcharged in a past tax year however you can write into:

    National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office
    HM Revenue and Customs
    BX9 1AN
    With a letter supplying the below details:
    •    why you think they have overpaid
    •    which tax years and which class of NICs are overpaid
    •    your National Insurance number
    •    a copy of a P60 or statement from your employer or employers showing NICs deducted from wages during the tax year
    •    the bank account name, sort code and account number for any refund due to be paid into
    Thank you.
  • RE: National insurance contributions incorrectly applied

  • RE: ALCS tax

    Hi andrewmaclachlan,
    As you state you are a higher rate taxpayer, the savings allowance is only £500. the peer to peer lending is declared on the additional information page SA101 at box 3.  Bank interest is declared on the main return under untaxed interest. For the £79.66 received, if this is actually royalties then this needs to be declared as other earned income.
    Thank you.
  • RE: Tax underpayment. Who caused it?

    Hi rebeccalyon Lyon,
    If you were paid by your old employer and new employer in the same month, and both operated the same code, this may have caused the underpayment.
    To confirm this, and to help us advise on what you can do, contact us by webchat or phone via Income Tax: general enquiries.
    Thank you.
