    Online VAT returns

    Actually work really well. I'm impressed. Now if only it didn't involve paying them money as well.

    Totally agree. One gov system they do appear to have got right, never had a problem with it

      First couple of times was a bit cumbersome by having to find the relevant links in the screens. So I documented the steps to follow and now complete the submission in minutes. Agree, nice and easy (for once).

        Yes, it's a pretty solid system.

        I would have made it work even better for 10% of the cost.

          You didn't offer the right people a short break in your country cottage or VIP tickets to the sport of their choice as part of corporate entertainment.

              You dont have to marry them, just give them money. or are you still trying to get your residency?

                Overall, there's something nice and reliable about the VAT systems and staff, I've never had any problems with them and they're usually very helpful whenever I have a query where they'll give me a definitive answer that's tacked onto my tax account notes. Maybe it's because we're essentially the tax collector for them...

                Can't say the same for the rest of HMRC staff though!

                  Just don't piss them about or try and avoid paying it. Then they get nasty
