Homes which have no business use cannot be visited without permission from the customer. Where a home is the VAT registered address it may have business use but, as before, an officer of HMRC cannot insist on inspecting at someone’s home unless there is a real need to do so.

No. Homes which have no business use could never be entered without permission from the customer. Where a home is used for business such as a VAT registered address an officer may enter and inspect any part that is used for business purposes.
