VAT deferral ending soon
Temporary changes to the VAT payments due between 20 March 2020 and 30 June 2020 are due to end soon.
Designed to help businesses manage their cash flow, the measures allowed for VAT payments to be deferred during the peak of the coronavirus crisis.
Any VAT payments deferred between 20 March and 30 June should now be paid in full on or before 31 March 2021. VAT payments that are due after the end of the deferral period will need to be paid as normal.
More information is available here.
