Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Can anyone recommend an organisation I can go to who will help with a VAT appeal?
I went over the limit whilst my son was ill, didn't realise (ok, stupid I know but other priorities at the time).
The VAT office are now trying to claim £16,000 from me for VAT I should have collected from that time.
There is only 1 year I was over the limit so this seems unfair as VAT reg is of no benefit to me and I would have registered then de registered the following year had I been in full focus of my business.
2.2 Do I have to register if I have reached the limits but I expect the value of my taxable supplies to reduce?
If at the end of any month the value of your taxable supplies for the last 12 months has gone over the registration threshold, but you can provide evidence and explain why the value of your taxable supplies will not go over the deregistration threshold in the next 12 months, then you may not have to register, unless you are otherwise required to do so because of the level of your distance sales or acquisitions. This is called exception from registration. You must still tell our National Registration Service that you have reached the limit within 30 days of the end of that month, but you will not have to fill in any forms.
If you are granted exception from registration you do not become immune from a liability to register with regards to the supplies you continue to make. You should continue to monitor the value of your taxable supplies on a monthly basis to determine if a further liability arises. You should still monitor your previous turnover even where you were previously granted exception, as this does not form a cut-off date for monitoring your turnover. If a further liability arises you will have to apply again for exception.

Thank you.
I reached the level without paying full attention due to personal circumstances, so subsequently didn't notify anyone.
The following years turnover was again below the limit.
The VAT office say I should now be registered and are trying to reclaim back VAT from 2005 when the problem occured.
I screwed up by not having accounts ready on time due to my sons illness. Is there any compasionate grounds I can claim on.
I think this year I am actually about to exceed the VAT limit now and have applied for number but it hasn't been forthcoming as of yet.
I can't invoice with VAt without a number and so the potential problem increases if they hold me to this.
Can you offer any further advice please?
If you work out your turnover from Jan-Dec, Feb-Jan, Mar-Feb (ie 12 month chunks) how many of those periods are over the VAT limit? You need to look at the individual monthly turnover as well. I successfully obtained exemption for one of my clients as he just had one massive contract which put him over the limit in one month. It is a pity you are approaching the registration limit again (well not in some ways) as that would further help your case.
I certainly don't see why you should have to remain registered once you are below the limit again. Also, how much were you over - I mean was it borderline, like about 65K or was it ridiculously over?
Thank you. I will approach it from this angle and see how it looks.
Yes, to go over VAt limit means business is improving, but want to get past glitches sorted first.
So many consumer issues...so little time.
Do you think we'll all die before we resolve them all! (I sometimes think so)
Thanks again.
