HMRC Target Online Sellers!!

Covid helped to swell the coffers considerably of online businesses as we could not visit the shops and Christmas presents needed to be bought even of it was almost cancelled at the last minute!

HMRC continue to target online sellers are monitoring online sellers and can and do contact businesses direct who trade on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay, to check if they are not complying with VAT.

HMRC can commence investigations and request evidence and proof of compliance with their VAT requirements and can shut down online accounts until this information is provided. Liability to account for and pay VAT falls to the seller who must now jump through various due diligence hoops.
