𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗙𝗨𝗟 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧 𝗛𝗠𝗥𝗖'𝗦 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗦 𝗦𝗘𝗜𝗭𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 The recent First-tier Tribunal (FTT) ruling in Petmaster Ltd [2024] UKFTT 718 (TC); [2024] TC 09258 is a crucial reminder of the importance of due diligence when choosing fulfilment houses. In this case, the importer failed to realise that the fulfilment house it was using, was not approved by HMRC. HMRC did not accept ignorance of the Fulfilment House Due Diligence Scheme as an excuse and seized, then ultimately destroyed the goods which had been imported into the UK. Although the taxpayer eventually won the appeal and received compensation from HMRC, the goods were lost, and the business endured significant disruption, stress, and costs during the appeal process. This case highlights the critical need for clear communication between overseas customers, UK fulfilment houses, and HMRC. Errors like these can be both damaging and costly. Fulfilment houses that fail to perform required checks and maintain proper records risk significant penalties. However, there is a solution that takes the onus off fulfilment houses, allowing them to focus on fulfilling orders rather than managing paperwork, it can also bring cash flow savings for importers.

In 2024 the Birmingham office of Dains Accountants proudly partnered with The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Network UK as our official charity of the year! This cause is especially close to the hearts of our Birmingham team, and we’ve been hard at work planning various fundraising events throughout the year to support this important organisation. What we’ve discovered is that many people are unaware of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). Though rare, IBC is a serious condition that urgently needs more awareness and understanding. Have you heard of Inflammatory Breast Cancer before? Please take a moment to answer our poll below and help us spread the word. Every share counts! We’ll post a link to a video in the comments that provides more information about IBC. #breastcancer #inflammatorybreastcancer #awareness

🎉 A huge CONGRATULATIONS to our amazing team from the #Birmingham office! Mike Bevan, Mark Gurney, Karina Parsons, Will Rowley, William Taylor, Rob Jones, Charles Abbey-Clarke, Sophie Roberts and Samantha Cornelius! Yesterday, they braved the scorching heat to participate in the #Solihull Half Marathon and 10k run, all to raise funds for the The Inflammatory Breast Cancer Network UK. IBC is a rare but highly aggressive form of breast cancer, often going undetected as it doesn’t present as a lump or show up on mammograms. This incredible charity, based in the Midlands, is dedicated to raising awareness, promoting education, and funding research for this under-recognised disease. Our target is to reach £1,000, currently, we are at £770. Your support means the world to us, so if you are able to donate, no matter how small, we would be very grateful. Please do so via this link https://loom.ly/S9z69W8 #raisefunds #inflammatorybreastcancer #halfmarathon
