How do you obtain older vat online records

Client has lost the workings of a few vat quarters

Didn't find your answer?

I noticed that the online vat records only go back to about 2015. How do you obtain older vat quarters for 2014. Is it a telephone call or can the older records be found somewhere on the clients account.

In theory they are kept by HMRC so a formal request to them should succeed. My current client with a similar question about VAT from 2009 is awaiting an 8 week delay in them answering any such questions

Is there any specific address that you sent this request or just the usual suspects.

Having spent a day giving evidence relating to an issue with old VAT returns I can tell you that if you are waiting for 2009 that could be fun. I am not sure as to when but records go onto a system called PRADA (Print Retrieval &Access Data).

I am not sure when they get dumped here as my case was in respect of returns submitted in the 1990's
