VAT advice

Guiding you through the complexities of VAT

Businesses dealing with the requirements of VAT legislation will agree that this is often a complex area. Determining whether you need to register for VAT, handling the administration of your returns and ensuring you are paying the correct rates can be both time consuming and complicated. Our VAT services cover all the basics, helping you to meet your obligations and manage your paperwork. We also offer VAT consultancy that goes beyond general compliance, working with you to minimise your liabilities where possible by taking advantage of any reliefs applicable to your business.

Our compliance services offer support for all stages of completing your VAT returns, whether you need advice on the treatment of specific transactions or have produced your records and would like verification that they are correct.

We also provide a book-keeping service - as short term cover for sickness or while a vacancy is filled, and as a long-term arrangement if you don’t have the time to keep up with the admin involved. We complete your returns for you and provide an up to date report on your business. If your records are out of control, we can help you set up a system to manage them.

Our consultancy service guides you through the intricacies of the legislation, pinpointing areas where you may be able to relieve or partly relieve the cost of VAT for your business, for example when purchasing new equipment or undertaking new projects such as property development.
