Referring to your question whether VAT qualifies for PER as tax, I can say yes because:
– had similar situation with my ICAEW qualified mentor and we agreed that
A. Vat is a tax indeed
B. It involves computation and assessment
C. It is part of your experience

One could argue that broad topic as such should cover in fact all three starting from VAT to CT and Personal Tax Returns and maybe even CIS, but, in my understanding, even if you have experience in all of the above, 500 words simply won’t be enough to use as examples of work performed.
Also, depending on your role and duration of employment, just bear in mind that 3 years in general will likely have you exposed to number of taxes and you won’t need to amend what you have already submitted back then. The point is, that you actually state how you have achieved objective without worrying that it will be expanded in the future to new areas such as CT etc.
As long as your mentor is satisfied with your current achievement and that you understand the methodology, neccessary evidence and apply regulations that is what you have learned from and can export such skills and apply in other areas if necessary.
I would in fact gently hint them that although VAT is sufficient, you could only benefit from additional taxes exposure, surely January must have plenty of opportunities within,

Best of luck!
