Know why businesses can find themselves in a position of conflict with FTA.
The most common reasons for this are:
- When FTA takes a different view on the VAT liability of a transaction or series of transactions.
- When a business fails to address a VAT matter in a timely manner for example a late application to register for VAT, which can lead to penalties.
- Where there are errors in submitting information to FTA, which again can lead to penalties, application to register for VAT, which can lead to penalties.
