A delegation from the Institute under the auspices of the CCAB-I attended the September meeting of the TALC Indirect Taxes Sub-committee. Issues discussed included proposed updates to the wording of the VAT56A accountant’s letter (in lieu of the accountant’s certificate on the form itself) to Revenue.
The Institute has been engaged extensively with Revenue’s representatives seeking agreement of wording to satisfy Revenue’s requirements in lieu of certification. We understand there is mixed experience from practitioners with some Revenue officials accepting versions of the letters that other officials are refusing. We also raised concerns with the move to single-year authorisations under the VAT 56A procedures where before the same operations would have been granted two and/or three-year authorisations.
The minutes of the meeting will be approved at the next meeting in November. You can access the minutes from all previous meetings here.
