VAT claim- Success!

[cwr]

Good evening all,

 

Today we received a letter from HMRC dated 16 June telling us that our claim has been accepted (with no disputes!) and would be paid to us in 10 working days. Great news, but even better the payment was already in and made on the 16th. Sharing this news here to:

 

1. Let others know the current timescales of claims. We posted ours a few days before the end of April this year, so around 7 or 8 week in total.

2. To say a big thank you to the members of forum for all the great advice shared.  I spend more than a couple of evenings browsing past posts and learnt considerably more about the VAT claim process here that anywhere else, and it all paid off. Great job.

Well done.

 

Slightly frustrated with ours as put the claim in back in January 2023. Got a letter confirming they got it in March and then another letter in May stating they wanted the Building Certificate despite providing them with confirmation via Council Tax that we were in. We did not have a signed off BC at the time of the claim and their forms said they'd accept Council Tax as proof of being finished.
