Good luck, I think you have good grounds but this is huge if true. This is interesting as a new client also had a penalty and managed to remove it but I will now ask if they have a PTA. I don’t know if they owed any tax yet though.
Yes I have had success based on those facts except my clients did not have a PTA. If you definitely did not have a notice on the PTA (I have no idea if they are there, you would need to find out) then fight the penalty but sounds like you have already appealed and filed without representation.

I prepare the accounts and I believe the Director files them together with the CIC report online using their CH login.
It may not be the decision of the person preparing the VAT returns how much to bill, if a client raised this with me I would certainly flag it.
Yes I am aware of this but I would not make any assumptions, the recoverability would need to be addressed before raising the invoice.
But input VAT on business entertaining is not reclaimable. Whether a higher amount can be billed to make the client whole is a separate issue.
