VAEC2910 - Section 73(1) and 73(2) assessments: Introduction

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

Errors can occur on a VAT return and also on an error correction. This can be caused as a result of an under-declaration, over-declaration or an omission in the traders VAT account.

There cannot be an under-declaration or over-declaration of tax in an accounting period unless a return for that period has been submitted.

Usually, assessments for under-declarations are as a result of an assurance activity and will fall into two categories

  • those that are based on precise evidence, and/or
  • those based on presumptions.
