RE: Import VAT problem
Thanks a lot for the advice @Customs oldtimer and @HMRC Admin 2 However, I encountered a problem with the reverse charge mechanism. We have two consignments below £135, and the reverse charge mechanism sends the VAT into Box 2, which does not correspond to our case. I couldn't find a way to send them into Box 1. Showing these charges in Box 2 will cause a problem for us or not? -

Import VAT problem
As NETPs, our company was established in October 2023 and registered for VAT starting from the incorporation date. We didn't start to trade until our VAT number arrived. So, we have been in operation for approximately two months. We are on the flat rate scheme and are about to prepare our first return. I think we have managed everything properly by now. However, it seems that there is a problem with our customs financial accounts, and we don't know what to do. 3 packages have been imported from Turkey on different dates in March to check how the importing process works. 2 of them were under £135, and one is above. We have a company in Turkey, and it is the supplier. We are aware that import VAT for these packages should be included in our first VAT return. The problem is that none of our companies have paid import VAT, and we thought that those amounts would be on our March postponed VAT statement. However, there is no postponed import VAT statement but a C79 certificate (declared by FedEx). As far as I know, it should show the import VAT that we already paid. Actually, we haven't paid a penny by now. Will Fedex contact us to pay a bill, or is there something wrong with our tax statements? What should we do in this case?
