It’s an activity that adds no value to the business but if you get it wrong it can land you in a whole heap of trouble.

As far as we’re concerned there’s no upside to VAT and a significant downside so why would you chance it?

Get it right from the start

The best way to start off with VAT is to get it right from the get-go.

Understanding when is the correct time to register, what scheme you should be on and how to account for VAT are all key to making sure you are set up to cope.

We work with businesses to make sure that their VAT set up is optimal. Taking time to understand your business and how it will develop in the future, we’ll advise on your registration and show you how to set up your systems.

(Incidentally, if you are a bookkeeping customer then we’ll do this for you automatically).

eme at all times and should you get a call from the dreaded VAT inspector then we’re here to deal with it. Depending upon what scheme you’re on we’ll prepare and submit your return every month, quarter or year to keep you up to date and on the right lines.

And we’ll advise on things like the treatment of overseas sales, self-billing, staff expenses and all manner of VAT issues than need to be considered.
In short, we’ll make sure your VAT is right so you don’t end up with a penalty.

What is VAT return.

A VAT Return is a form you fill in to tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) how much VAT you’ve charged and how much you’ve paid to other businesses.

You usually need to send a VAT Return to HMRC every 3 months. This is known as your ‘accounting period’.

If you’re registered for VAT, you must submit a VAT Return even if you have no VAT to pay or reclaim.

Do I need to register for VAT?

Whether you need to register for Value Added Tax (VAT) in the United Kingdom depends on several factors, including your business's annual turnover and the types of goods or services you provide.

How to register for VAT?

First, assess whether your business is required to register for VAT based on your taxable turnover (sales subject to VAT).

VAT deadlines and penalties

VAT returns must typically be submitted to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on a quarterly basis, although some businesses may have different VAT accounting periods.

VAT RATES

The standard VAT rate in the UK is 20%, which is applicable to most goods and services. There is also a reduced VAT rate of 5% for specific items such as certain health products, fuel, heating, and child car seats.

The deadline for submitting your VAT return and payment to HMRC is usually one calendar month and seven days after the end of the VAT accounting period. For example, if your VAT quarter ends on June 30th, the deadline for submission and payment is August 7th.
It's important to file and pay VAT on time to avoid penalties.
