Dropbox file sharing service for VAT426 repayments
After a successful trial, you can now use the Dropbox file sharing service to submit VAT426 forms.
By using Dropbox, you will know that HMRC has received the form, and it guarantees that any supporting documentation will not become separated from the claim.
This is part of HMRC’s work to help insolvency practitioners by speeding up and simplifying processes.
HMRC takes the security of personal information very seriously.
To keep risks to a minimum, one of the preferred methods of data transfer for HMRC is Dropbox.
There is a risk attached to all forms of electronic data transfer and some remain with Dropbox.
You will need to confirm to us that you have a clear understanding and acceptance of any associated risks, and that you are content to send information concerning your business details.
We will guide you through this.
