VAT Payments for 2020 to be deferred to April 2021 and July 2021

Petition Details

With the crisis of COVID-19, businesses need practical ways to keep afloat. This means managing cash flow and deferring payments where possible. Most profitable companies pay VAT, and many companies are now seeing a 3 to 12 month crisis. So this practical measure will assist businesses.

Additional Information

Companies have a choice to:

1. Pay as normal.
2. Defer to an annual 2020 payment, which is paid January 30th 2021
3. Defer any VAT payments in 2020 to April and or July 2021
