Can you file a Vat Return for 1 month only?

Can you file a Vat Return for 1 month only?

Didn't find your answer?

Client registered for VAT with effect from 1/3/12. First Return is to be made for the period ended 30/4/12 and then quartery. Year end is 31/3/12

Client wants to make the vat quarter coterminous with the Year end. 

Would HMRC allow the first Vat Return to be filed for March 12 only and then quarterly thereafter? Or would they instead change it such that the first return would be from March 12 to June 12?

Thanks for your advice.

I don't know - they have done

Just request the quarter dates to be changed and see what happens.

You may find

That the first return remains to 30/4 but then there is a second 2 month "quarter" to 30/6 - ore even a 5 month "quarter" to 30/9 to bring it in line with the year end - you will have to ask and see what you get.
