VB-936W1 - Brexit changesHMRC4.2.2.1Period endChanges required to the W1 for Brexit, in summary:

Section B

* Box 5 & 13 change to 'Box no longer in use'.

Section C

* No changes required, HMRC are trying to come up with a solution to automatically close all ARCs for despatches to EU countries post Brexit, which will generate the appropriate messages to Vision and close off the movements, therefore it has been agreed that we will not make any changes to this section of the W1, leaving HMRC in control of the closure and of what appears on the form.

These changes are available in this version but will only be made active if the UK leaves the EU without a deal or at the end of the transition period.

VB-985User groups - default administrator groupIssue5.0.0GeneralDuring the system updates, we need a way to be sure which group is an administrator account, to setup access to new features, new enquiries etc so that customers know they exist.

When systems are first setup, an administrator group is created by default. Some customers change the name of this and later may not use it as an administrator group.

Changes will be implemented to ensure that there is always a top level administrator group which our accounts will be linked to, as well as the default customer administrator accounts and this will not be able to be changed.

VB-926Day end - Brexit preparationHMRC4.2.2.1Day endPreparatory changes for Brexit and PVA VAT in Day End & ATWD.  When going live with this version, if Brexit has not yet happened then everything will continue to work as it did before, and only small changes will be noticed to the Acquisition VAT statement format.

When Brexit happens, we will be able to switch the rules quickly in the system so that, in summary:

* The 'Date received' selected on pre advices, stored when stock is receipted, will be used to determine if the stock arrived pre / post exit.
* Pre exit receipted stock
** Existing acquisition VAT rules will apply, PVA VAT will NOT apply.
** Although the W5(D) / W6(D) forms are rarely used, these will be updated to show that they're for pre exit receipted stock.
* Post exit receipted stock,
** PVA VAT will apply with the same conditions that acquisition VAT used to apply for, BUT for all countries instead of being restricted to EU countries.
** PVA VAT will always be applied where it can be, Vision will not support an option for customers to willingly pay the VAT.  This is in line with how Vision handled acquisition VAT.
** PVA VAT declarations will continue to be be submitted to HMRC using the existing "ACQ VAT" marker as per HMRC's request.
* The Acquisition VAT statement is being updated to reflect all of the above.

From HMRC:
If the UK leaves the EU with no deal, from 11pm UK time on 12 April 2019, businesses registered for VAT in the UK can account for import VAT on their VAT Return instead of paying at the time, or soon after, the goods arrive at the UK border.

Businesses can also use their VAT Return to account for import VAT on excise goods once the goods are released for home consumption, including from an excise warehouse.

There will be changes to how businesses or their agents complete their declaration for ATWD:-
- To declare and recover import VAT on your VAT return using postponed accounting businesses should complete the Value/Rate boxes and enter 'ACQ VAT' in the Amount of VAT box. Businesses should retain this information for their records and ensure they retain evidence of how they calculate the value for VAT declared.  Businesses will not receive a monthly postponed import VAT statement for these transactions. 
- Businesses not wishing to use PVA can continue to account for import VAT when goods are released from an excise warehouse. Businesses should complete the Value/Rate/Amount boxes. HMRC will issue a C79 certificate to support claims for input tax deduction.
- If goods are supplied while in duty suspense, supply VAT will be due. Businesses should complete the Value/Rate/Amount boxes. HMRC will issue a C79 certificate to support claims for input tax deduction.

Goods which entered duty suspense before the UK leaves the EU and which are released after EU exit will follow pre-EU exit rules. Businesses should make a separate declaration for these goods and clearly note this on the form.

We are updating the W5, W5D, W6 and W6D forms with supplementary guidance to the existing guidance and notes for the completing the forms on ATWD, to tell users how to input information for the existing boxes differently from how they do currently in order for them to account for VAT correctly and benefit from the introduction of PVA.

Import VAT postponed using ATWD will not appear on the monthly postponed import VAT statement so businesses will need to ensure they keep adequate records. Information on how to calculate the value of goods is contained in notice 252.

Why Supply VAT must be declared separately from any postponed import VAT.
If goods have been supplied while in duty suspense then supply VAT will be become due before goods are released for home consumption. Supply VAT cannot be postponed so must be declared separately.
