Registration

‍

For VAT registration 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.

​

Returns

‍

There are three methods we can use to assist in completion of VAT returns:

• Let us do your book-keeping and we complete the return from there;
• Give us your books and we'll complete the return for you;
• We provide you with training on how to complete your own return.

We complete VAT returns in good time to ensure you avoid any penalties.

‍

In addition, we can 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.

Compliance with VAT is complex.  Investigations by the VATman can be intense - all the more important that your VAT returns are completed correctly.
