How we look after your VAT

Registration done right

We work out when you need to register, or whether registering early makes sense, and choose the right scheme for how your business trades.

Returns filed on time under Making Tax Digital

We prepare and submit your returns from compliant digital records, with the reconciliations behind every figure.

Recovering the VAT you are entitled to

We review your purchases for input VAT that has been missed, and check that every claim is backed by a valid VAT invoice.

Staying compliant

Partial exemption, reverse charge, imports and mixed supplies are where errors creep in. We spot them before HMRC does.

Support with HMRC checks

Newly registered businesses in a repayment position are often checked by HMRC before the first repayment is released. We prepare the evidence and deal with HMRC for you.

Corrections and disclosures

If an earlier return was wrong, we work out the correction and make the right disclosure to HMRC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I register for VAT before I have to?

Sometimes it makes sense, especially if your customers are VAT-registered businesses or you have large set-up costs. We look at the numbers with you before you decide.

Why is HMRC checking my first VAT return?

It is common for HMRC to check a new registration when the first return shows a repayment. It usually means providing invoices, contracts and bank evidence. We prepare the pack and handle the conversation with HMRC.

Which VAT scheme is right for my business?

It depends on your turnover, your margins and how you get paid. We compare the standard, cash accounting and flat rate schemes against your figures and recommend the one that fits.

Can you work with my accounting software?

Yes. We work with the common cloud systems and make sure your records meet the Making Tax Digital requirements.
