VAEC8740 | How to assess and correct: Assessment procedures: VAT650 Request for copy of assessment

For information about retired VAT systems, go to VAEC0150. For information about Making Tax Digital for VAT and ETMP processes, go to VAEC0200

You may sometimes need to obtain copies of output documents when perhaps the Local Office copy is not available. The VAT650 is used to obtain microfiche copies of the following documents

• VAT655 Notice of Assessment

• VAT656 Notice of Amendment of Assessment

• VAT657 Notice of Error Correction

• VAT665 Notice of Amendment of Surcharge

• VAT666 Notice of Amendment of Misdeclaration Penalty (only for periods before 1 December 1993)

• VAT667 Statement of Account

Unfortunately, the microfiche copy does not contain the standard text that appears on the document, it merely contains the facts and figures pertinent to that one assessment or disclosure.

To interpret the microfiche copy it is necessary to read it in conjunction with another similar document.
