Role of the VAT Fraud Deductions & Imports Policy Team

The VAT Fraud, Deductions & Imports policy team is responsible for the VAT Personal Export scheme.

The team is the policy maker for the schemes.

If you are seeking policy advice on a particular case you should submit either a General Advice Request or a Technical Advice Request. Please see VPOLADV for more information. All requests for advice must be first referred to the UoE who will advise if the question needs to be forwarded.

Policy teams do not deal directly with the public and the public should not be referred to them.
