- Assistance with VAT registration

Pay only the VAT you owe
Navigating the VAT returns maze is one of our specialities. Knowing which items can be claimed for or not is something business owners can find difficult. We aim to solve the dilemmas and make sure you are only claiming what is correct and therefore only paying what you need.
Filling out a tax return is far easier when all the items have been categorised. Plus, makes sense to ask the experts before making claims to the HMRC.
As a standalone service, our VAT service can be cost-effective if you are happy with the overall bookkeeping and payroll. However, you could consider off-loading this task with our bookkeeping services. If you further this by also handing over your payroll, you may never need to talk to the HMRC at all!
The Benefits Of Using VAT Services
As a business owner you, quite rightly want to concentrate on building the business. Delegating tasks is a sign of good business owner’s practice. Finance is not everyone’s forte. VAT returns are one of those areas of taxation that most people find confusing, so giving this task to VAT specialists can bring huge relief.
It is easy to miss VAT claims and therefore missing out on vital cash for the business. Alternatively, it can be easy to miss paying for VAT on items you should have, this could ultimately lead to difficulties with HMRC and even fines.
Our team of qualified accountants have been honing their skills in spotting issues and giving VAT advice. Leaving us to do this task will leave you free to do what you do best.
If you are planning purchases or upgrading IT hardware, you can consult us on potential VAT claims. Doing this prior to purchase means no surprises and can help you make more cost-effective choices.
Charging VAT on your own products and services means reporting and paying these to HMRC. Let us make sure that these payments are correct and prevent you from getting severe penalties.
Receipts and purchases can often be found hidden in bank details or card statements, we can help you find them, as every penny counts when calculating VAT returns.
