You told the waiter what you ate. But did you pay the bill? 🍽️
Filing your VAT return and paying your VAT are two different things.
✅ VAT Return = you tell the FTA what you owe ("I ordered")
💳 VAT Payment = you actually pay it ("I paid")
Filing without paying still leaves you exposed to penalties. And paying without filing does the same.
📅 Both are due by 28 October.
Not sure you've done both? Message VAT and we'll check it for you.
