Can my Duty Deferment statement be used as evidence for input tax deduction?
No. Duty Deferment statements may not be used as evidence for input tax deduction on VAT returns. This is normally provided by a monthly VAT certificate (C79) that is sent to your registered address on or about the twelfth of each month. Copies of VAT certificates can be requested by fax to the Banking Microfilm Unit on 01702 366780 and not the Central Deferment Office.
