VATREG02050 | Basic principles of registration: the VAT register

From HM Revenue & Customs · VAT Registration

The main record of registered traders is held in the Enterprise Tax Management Platform (ETMP). This is supplemented by the information which is held on Electronic Folder (EF) in the trader’s file, the VRS Digital Attachments Viewer Service and Digital Mail Service.

The information includes:

  • the VAT 1, VAT 2, VAT 28, VAT 50/51; VAT 68 VAT 1A VAT 1B VAT 1TR (or the Welsh equivalent)

  • any relevant letters and documents accompanying these forms

  • letters or documents notifying any subsequent changes in the particulars advised.

  • telephone conversations or emails in relation to the trader.

The whole body of these records constitutes the VAT register.

The computer record must be amended in respect of errors on the record or changes notified by the trader.
