Import VAT covers the VAT charged on goods as they enter the UK from abroad, and is collected by HM Revenue & Customs at the point of entry or accounted for via postponed import VAT accounting. A solicitor practising this area helps businesses navigate the customs declaration process, determine the correct VAT treatment, claim reliefs, and handle disputes with HMRC. They draft or review documentation, liaise with customs agents or freight forwarders, and advise on record-keeping and audit requirements to avoid penalties.
Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor
A solicitor explains how postponed VAT accounting works, how to calculate the VAT due on import, and how to recover import VAT under relief schemes. They prepare and review the import declarations, check classification, origin and value for VAT purposes, and assist with evidence for customs rulings or VAT reclaim disputes.
