VCP10813 - Misdeclaration penalty: Calculation and notification of a misdeclaration penalty: Withdrawal or reduction of penalty notification letter

Please note: VAT Misdeclaration Penalty has been replaced by the Schedule 24 inaccuracy penalty for all accounting periods where the return period commences on or after 01/04/2008 and the due date is on or after 01/04/2009. Misdeclaration penalty will still apply where the due date is before 01/04/2009.

When you have to notify a trader of a withdrawn or reduced misdeclaration penalty, the letter should contain the information provided in the withdrawn or reduction (Word 35kb) penalty specimen letter.
