VATDREG08050 | Cancellation in particular cases: cash accounting traders

When a person on the cash accounting scheme deregisters, they must account for all the outstanding VAT on supplies they have received and made during the last 12 months while in the scheme on their final VAT return.

Please note that this applies even when the customer has not been paid, see para 6.12 VAT Notice 731. Cash accounting traders have two months in which to submit their final return, or such longer period as we may allow.

For further guidance on the cash accounting scheme. Please see VAT Cash Accounting Scheme Manual.
