Further to a recent HMRC compliance check they requested proof of Due Diligence: Supply Chain Assurance and specifically checking VAT numbers on the HMRC website. It would be useful under the VAT number on the supplier set up page to have a second heading VAT Verification Check, with a blank box to add the date and proof of check reference supplied by HMRC (as attached)
This is due to the joint and several liability of unpaid VAT when companies can be made liable for the unpaid VAT of another VAT registered business when you buy specified goods from them.
HMRC states - print or save this page but there is not an option to save as PDF only hdml and those links expire and does not give you proof that has check has been carried out when the link has expired.
I have attached a redacted PDF of the VAT check.
