Revenue, VAT claim.

Grimwar

Hi all,
In 2010 i had a vat refund of 15,000 which was over due for 3 years.
Reason i was sick and no longer was able to work as self-employed.

I had a meeting with a Revenue Staff Officer in 2010 and i signed papers to the value of 15000 to be paid.

In early 2011 i phoned the Revenue Staff Officer and was told he was out on sick leave and i would be conntacted later.

In April 2011 when i phoned i was enformed that the Revenue Staff Officer i was dealing with had left, and after several phone calls later i was asked to send in information of my sick status.
In late Apirl i sent in the requsted data, but when i phoned i was told no imformation was recived.

After more useless phone calls and one phone call when i asked about my claim the person mocked me and said get lost.

I then recived a letter stating as i had not signed a return in 4 years and not owed 15000.

Any help please.

Seek the assistance of a solicitor or accountant to liase with revenue on your behalf

If you are self employed do you submit your end of year accounts yourself or do you have an accountant?
If you have an accountant why did they not file the VAT3 returns on your behalf in 2010?
If you don't have an accountant get one!
Did you file your VAT3's for 2010,2011,2012,2013?

I smell a rat :rolleyes: when I was self employed in 2009 i was sick and confined to the house (on bed rest for 6+ months) and when i phoned revenue to file nil returns for the period a lovely lady from revenue called to the house to get me to sign returns in paper so that a refund I was due from Jan-Feb of that year would be paid to me
