  • Compare your VAT returns against your annual accounts

VAT Planning and Disputes

Expert guidance on VAT efficiency and conflict resolution. Compliance with VAT is becoming ever more complex. Investigations from the VATman can be intense – all the more important that you have an accountant who is successful in negotiations with them.
We take the best advantage of the reliefs available and the interpretation of the regulations. This is an extremely important feature of the service provided as it ensures peace of mind for all our clients.
We can help you with VAT in the following ways:

  • Applying for and advice on VAT registration
  • Advice on the VAT schemes suitable to your business
  • Completion of VAT returns
  • Dealing with VAT control visits
  • Dealing with any contentious disputes that arise with Customs.

VAT Registration

Hassle-free VAT registration and compliance support. You must register for VAT with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if your business’ VAT taxable turnover is more than £85,000. We can assist with:

  • Advising if you need to or if it would be beneficial to register;
  • Completion of the VAT registration forms and formalities;
  • Advising on the best VAT schemes to use suitable to your business – some you have to notify HMRC you are using and some you don’t.
  • Completion of VAT Returns or training on how to complete them
  • VAT planning
  • Dealing with any contentious disputes that arise with Customs
  • Attendance at VAT inspections.

VAT Returns

Accurate VAT filings to meet HMRC regulations. Details of the VAT you charge customers and pay HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) are provided using the VAT return. UK VAT-registered businesses must complete VAT returns and pay any VAT due to HMRC. There are three methods we can use to assist in the completion of VAT returns:

  • Let us do your bookkeeping and we complete the return from there
  • Give us your books and we’ll complete the return for you
  • Provide training on how to complete your return.
We are able to complete VAT returns in time to ensure you avoid any penalties. In addition, we are able to assist with:
  • Applying for VAT registration
  • Advice on the VAT schemes suitable to your business
  • VAT planning
  • Dealing with any disputes that arise with Customs
  • Attendance at VAT inspections.
