New VAT number scam
what
Posts: 30 Forumite
After setting up a new company I created a government gateway account to register for vat.
A month after receiving the number by post I tried to add it the my gateway account.
”already registered to another gateway account”
Apparently the numbers are being intercepted somewhere and you can add them to any gateway account! Even though I needed a new account to get the number in the first place.
now I can’t do a vat return until they investigate.
” Please pay any vat demands or you will be fined “
Key is to register your vat number asap?
anyone else experience this and how long to sort out ?
im owed quite a bit of vat
