HMRC refuses to pay back vat to Viva Wallet account

JustN43

Hi. 
My company is due back vat 1k but HMRC cannot make the transfer to Viva wallet as Viva wallet does not facilitate backs payments. They only facilitate chaps and fast track. 
Crazy to find out that I will loose 1k. 
Viva wallet does not  accept cash cheques either.
The only solution I can think of is to hire an accountant and hope HMRC repays money to them. 

Has anyone experienced this?
Much appreciate your help

Why not open a normal work bank account and get it paid there?
Post in the tax forum for better advice

viva wallet looks like a POS system, I wouldn't expect HMRC to make payment to it.

Open a proper business bank account and get HMRC to pay that.

Might want to get the post moved to the small business board as this is the credit file one.

Or, and much more straightforward, open a standard business account.

Who are viva wallet?
Hmrc will want to refund to a bank account.

Open a Tide or Starling business account if needed

Why is it  limited? Can't anyone open a business bank account? Obviously your current arrangement is also limited.

Why does that matter?  Several years ago I ran my own Ltd. Co.  Opened up a business account with my current bank online, there were no questions relating to the nature of the business.  The only thing I had to provide was proof of registration with Companies House.
