VAT Returns

VAT Returns

Our VAT services are ideal for new businesses and those that have been running for a long time. We can help you meet your VAT liabilities, giving you back the time to focus on your business operations.

Our VAT return solution

If you're just starting out, we can help you decide whether you should be VAT registered from the outset. We will continue to monitor your situation, so that should it become necessary for you to register for VAT we can deal with the registration for you.

We will also monitor your position for when we think you are able to and would benefit from deregistering for VAT.

Why choose our VAT return service?

Our VAT return service offers you the complete package for your business:

  • VAT Schemes : we can advise if you are eligible for any VAT schemes and establish whether you would be better off adopting one or a mixture of them. Some VAT schemes can lead to tax savings and a reduction in bookkeeping responsibilities.
  • VAT Savings : we will ensure that your VAT claim is correct, particularly ensuring that you claim as much input VAT as you’re entitled to and only pay as much VAT as required.
  • VAT Agent : we can act as your Agent for VAT and correspond with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on your behalf and submit VAT returns for you.
  • Meet HMRC Deadlines : our experienced team will ensure your VAT returns are filed on time and ensure you are advised of any liabilities in good time.
  • Peace of Mind : late VAT registration, errors, late VAT returns and late VAT payments can all lead to penalties and interest. Allowing us to take care of your VAT affairs gives you peace of mind.
  • Competitive pricing and flexible services: We tailor our services to your business and offer fixed fees to avoid any hidden charges.  
  • More time for you: Use the time you will save and invest it in your business to make it even more successful.
