VAT Declarations

All VAT Declaration forms are stored in a locked and secure facility with limited access in line with HMRC requirements.

How long do we store your information?

Order Information

As standard, we retain Order Information indefinitely as it aids us with after-sales support and future orders placed by yourself. Due to the nature of our sales, we are legally required to retain orders where VAT Relief has been claimed for up to 7 years. This is in line with any potential VAT Audits carried out by HMRC.

We also retain Order Information for warranty reasons related to your products. This information will be used should you ever need to claim on your product during the warranty period.

As standard, we retain customer information and purchased history indefinitely or for a minimum of 7 years if the customer has placed an order and claimed VAT Relief.

You can tell whether a page is using encryption by looking for a small locked padlock next to the website address int eh top bar of your browser. The address bar will also change to start with ‘https’ rather than ‘http’ before www.clearwellmobility.co.uk.
