VAT paid to incorrect Dept of HMRC
I am a wine importer and last year my Freight Forwarder made me pay VAT upfront instead of via my VAT account on a Postponed VAT basis. I have a C79 certificate confirming this payment but even after 12 months this money has not been paid into my VAT account. I have spoken to the Annual Accounting VAT section and they say it is up to me to get this other department ( wherever they are) to pay the money over. To whom do I speak? It's causing all sorts of problems.
