VAT Returns
VAT returns, filed accurately and on time
Calculating and reporting VAT is complicated and time-consuming, and mistakes lead to penalties and interest. Our accountants handle every part of your VAT return, from making sure you are on the right scheme to checking that everything is correctly accounted for.
What's included
- VAT registration. We register you with HMRC when you reach the threshold, or voluntarily if it benefits you.
- Scheme advice. Standard, Flat Rate or Cash Accounting: we check which scheme leaves you better off.
- MTD VAT submissions. Returns filed through HMRC-recognised software, every quarter.
- Reviews and corrections. We check input and output VAT and fix errors before HMRC finds them.
- Deadline management. You get reminders of what to pay and when, so there are no late-filing surprises.
Frequently asked questions
When do I have to register for VAT?
You must register once your VAT-taxable turnover goes over HMRC's registration threshold in a rolling 12-month period. We monitor this for you and tell you before you get there.
Is the Flat Rate Scheme right for me?
It depends on your sector and costs. We run the numbers both ways before recommending a scheme.
Can you take over my VAT returns mid-year?
Yes. We pick up from your last submitted return and connect your software to HMRC.
