Change of Address - VAT

JodieR

I've managed to change a client's correspondance address online for Corp tax and PAYE without any problems, but can't see how to do it for VAT - am I being stupid or do I just need to complete that 484 form?

Yes, the VAT people are still on a different planet to everyone else at HMRC!

Ok now I'm being thick - we always just write a letter to the tax office.

Please can I be enlightened about the nice simple way of changing CT and PAYE, and whats a 484 form?!

If you go into your client's PAYE/Corp tax records online you can click on 'client details' or something like that and just change the address there, but it's not an option for VAT apparently (thanks dean!)
And I first encountered form 484 last month when a client needed his bank account details changed with HMRC and that is what I was told to fill in - turns out you can use it for other VAT stuff too like if you want to ask for your vat periods to be changed, and for change of address. Of course it's not as simple as it sounds as it can only be signed by a director, not an authorised agent.... grrrrr!

can't see where to change address on Ct and PAYE though.

I've tried uploading a rather blurry screenshot of where you need to click to access it online - hope it helps!
