Is your VAT or ECSL return due and you   
    

• can’t find it?

• have left it till the last day?

• missed the post?

• are away from the workplace?

   

You can render your VAT or ECSL return, pay any amounts due or just look at previous return details all online in a safe and secure manner.

Flexible

Once enrolled, you can set up additional people in your business to access and operate the service at a level you decide. For example, a person in your finance or accounting section normally prepares the VAT return but you approve it. Using the paper VAT return your book-keeper needs to write on the return then pass it to you and then you have to sign it and put it in the post so that it gets to us on time. The same can be done using the online service but without the paper! Your book-keeper can prepare and save the return online, you can then send the return in from anywhere you have access to the Internet, from work, away from the office or even from home safe in the knowledge there will be no postal delay.

Agents

If you are an agent and deal with VAT or ECSL returns on behalf of a client then this too is catered for. You will need to register as an online services agent with Isle of Man Customs and Excise using form VAT AG1 MAN and then send in an authorisation form from your clients, VAT AG 2MAN (see below). We will then make the link that will allow you to render the returns on behalf of your clients and see their previous return details.

Extra 7 days

Send in your VAT return and payment on line and we will give you an extra 7 days to get it to us.* A business required to render ECSLs is also allowed an extra 7 days to submit if sent in online (due 14 days after the period end for paper submissions, 21 days for online)

*excluding annual and payment on account traders

Making payments

As well as paying your VAT return online, a new General Payments service is also available. You can make a payment from this service without even having to enrol to the VAT service; so you do not have to be VAT registered.
