(VAT to HMRC and NIC and PAYE all give different stuff in different ways and (Horror!)VATman demands a hard signed copy of his monthly/quarterly returns - says electronic submission is not adequate!You may be interested in: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/drafts/vat_regs.htm "online filing of VAT returns and electronic payment of VAT, required for existing businesses with an annual turnover of £100,000 or more for accounting periods starting on or after 1 April 2010"Would that I had a turnover of over £100,000.--! Also "VAT 100" must be signed! They have major problems in that they send me a hard copy to fill in and require "manually insert a signature" Reasons, similar to the submission of export control documents for dual use materials - even though all "data" is electronic in transmission they want a manually signed copy, as they need that for any subsequent court case for criminal action if incorrect exporting of weapons or tax avoidance!
