HMRC has issued new guidance on 14 April 2025 in respect of amendments to VAT groups.
- add a group member
- remove a group member
- change the representative member of a VAT group
- request to disband a group
Furthermore, the guidance on the use of form VAT53 to allow an accountant, or agent, to register, or make changes to, a VAT group on behalf of a business has been published. Unfortunately, this form needs to be downloaded, printed, completed by hand, and sent by post to HMRC.
