I have a C79 showing the VAT that I can reclaim on an import from China. Customer normally pays the shipper direct but this time he has paid HMRC via FAS. The amount on the C79 differs to what he has paid via FAS, presumably because there will be import duty as well as import VAT, but I would like to see some documentary link between the two. I am aware that he can view his account and pull reports from HMRC if its his own FAS (or whatever its called) login. I am thinking he has used an agents facility and if so what i should be asking him to get for me to show the split in what has been paid? I am waiting on a reply from client but he isnt the speediest and given we have Christmas looming and his VAT return is due by 7 Jan I thought I would try to head it off at the pass now.
Any help gratefully received!!!!!
