When a VAT penalty assessment is amended, the VAT Mainframe (VMF) is updated by either the VAT Appeals team or the caseworker completing one of the following forms and sending it to the VALID team who will input it into the VMF.
- VAT643 to amend the VAT641/VAT642 details, see How to assess and correct: VAT Amendments: VAT643 processing and notification (sharepoint.com)
- VAT651 to amend the VAT292 details, see Misdeclaration penalty: Calculation and notification of a misdeclaration penalty: Form VAT651 what to input (sharepoint.com)
To minimise data security risks and ensure the most efficient transfer of information, electronic forms, where available, are to be used. The submission of electronic VALID forms should be by Electronic Folder (EF).
