Services
VAT
As accountants offering VAT services for UK businesses, we provide expert guidance and management to ensure full compliance with HMRC’s VAT regulations. Navigating the complexities of VAT can be challenging, especially with changing rules such as Making Tax Digital (MTD). Our services streamline the VAT process, reduce the risk of errors, and ensure timely submissions using top software solutions like Xero and QuickBooks. We may also be able to tailor our services to work with your existing systems, ensuring a smooth and effective VAT management experience.
Our VAT Services
- VAT Registration & Deregistration Whether your business is starting out or growing, we manage the VAT registration process with HMRC, ensuring you're registered at the right time and under the appropriate scheme (Standard, Flat Rate, or others). If your business no longer needs to be VAT-registered, we also handle the deregistration process, ensuring compliance and avoiding penalties.
- VAT Return Preparation & Submission We take care of preparing and submitting your VAT returns accurately and on time. Using Xero or QuickBooks, we streamline the process by automatically capturing VAT on sales, purchases, and expenses, calculating the correct VAT liability, and submitting your returns electronically to HMRC in full compliance with Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements.
- Making Tax Digital (MTD) Compliance Making Tax Digital is now mandatory for VAT-registered businesses. Our services ensure your business meets all MTD requirements, including digital record-keeping and submitting VAT returns via compatible software like Xero or QuickBooks. We handle the transition if you're not yet MTD-compliant, ensuring a seamless move to digital filing.
- VAT Reconciliation We regularly reconcile your VAT transactions to ensure all VAT amounts are accurately recorded and aligned with your financial records. This helps prevent discrepancies that could lead to HMRC queries or penalties. Xero and QuickBooks automate much of the reconciliation process, giving you real-time oversight of your VAT position.
- VAT Schemes & Planning We assess your business needs and recommend the most suitable VAT scheme, whether it’s the Standard VAT Scheme, Flat Rate Scheme, or the Cash Accounting Scheme. We also provide strategic VAT planning to help minimise your VAT liability and optimize cash flow, ensuring you’re not paying more VAT than necessary.
- VAT on International Trade For businesses involved in international trade, VAT can become more complex due to import and export rules, the impact of Brexit, and varying VAT rates in different countries. We manage the VAT implications of importing and exporting goods, ensuring compliance with UK and international VAT laws, and provide guidance on reclaiming VAT on international expenses.
- VAT Audits & Investigations In the event of a VAT audit or investigation by HMRC, we provide full support to ensure your business is prepared. We review your records, assist with queries, and help resolve any issues. Our proactive approach helps prevent audits through regular compliance checks and accurate VAT return submissions.
- Tailored to Your Existing Software If you’re already using a different accounting or VAT system, we may be able to integrate our services with your existing software. Our team has experience working with a wide range of platforms, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition if you decide to adopt Xero or QuickBooks, or continuing with your current setup while ensuring MTD compliance.
