I act for a VAT-registered client who believes that a competitor should also be VAT registered. My client thinks that this puts his business at a commercial disadvantage because he cannot compete on a fair basis. In principle all his competitor’s supplies should be standard rated and these are over the registration threshold.
On behalf of the client I have logged a complaint with the enquiries team at HMRC and the VAT fraud online portal. This has had no effect and I feel that I am going around in circles because no one from HMRC appears to be willing to take up this issue.
I would very be interested in Taxation readers’ views on the matter and what action can be taken.
Query 19 514 – Ratty.
