Business Disruption – Postal Dispute

HMRC have announced that VAT returns and payments that were delayed by postal disputes will be viewed sympathetically. There will be no liability to a surcharge where the postal strike has caused a delay in the returns or payment being received.

The postal workers union, the Communication Workers Union (CWU), are planning more postal disputes. To keep abreast of planned disruptions use the link below.
