Back to SRR (short risk review)

One of the roles of HMRC is to help customers get their tax returns right, so that they pay the right amount of tax or receive the right benefits.

We are testing new ways of working with customers which we believe will be less time consuming and less complicated than other procedures we use. Your participation in this trial is voluntary and this is not a notice of intention to enquire under our existing formal powers. We feel that these new approaches will help customers to deal with any mistakes quickly and get their tax right now and for the future.

Our records show that you are in the [insert industry sector]. Work carried out in the [insert industry sector] can have three different rates for VAT– 0%, 5% and 17.5%, and the rules relating to the correct rate can be complex. When we review returns we find that errors commonly occur in the rates applied.

In addition, if you have any queries of a general nature, you may wish to contact: [insert appropriate Helpline].

I am not suggesting that you have made any errors but I would like you to look again at the rates of VAT that you applied during 2005 and, having done so, complete the enclosed questionnaire and return it to me by insert date.

If there is anything you do not understand or wish to discuss, you are welcome to ring me on the above number.
