Support for businesses through deferring VAT payments
Written 6/4/2020
HMRC will support businesses by deferring Valued Added Tax (VAT) payments for 3 months.
If you’re a UK VAT registered business and have a VAT payment due between 20 March 2020 and 30 June 2020, you have the option to:
• defer the payment until a later date
• pay the VAT due as normal
If you’re in temporary financial distress because of COVID-19 more help is available from HMRC’s Time to Pay scheme.
