The C285 form is a document UK businesses use to claim overpaid VAT from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). If your company has paid more VAT to HMRC than it owes, you may be eligible for a refund.
Form C285 is the official route to claim this overpayment. Common reasons for overpaying include calculation errors or a downturn in business.
To support your claim, gather evidence like bank statements and invoices. Submit your completed Form C285 as soon as possible after the end of the relevant tax period.
