September 2024 | VAT updates must now be done online

Anyone needing to update their VAT details must now do so online through their VAT online account. Before August 5, changes could be made using the VAT484 form or via postal or electronic methods, but these options are being phased out.

HMRC claims that the online process is more secure and helps avoid delays. However, individuals who are digitally excluded can still submit changes by post using the VAT484 form.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM OVERSEAS?

If you are based overseas, then you will need to call HMRC to make the changes as these cannot be done online and you will still need to use the VAT484 form. This can be used to change your business name or your phone number if you or your company must pay VAT.

Also, remember to update your Companies House record if you are changing your business name or the address of your business. Any other changes, such as using a different bank account, also need to be communicated as soon as possible to prevent any problems. You can find out more about how to make the changes on Gov.uk.
