Value added tax is not an easy subject to talk around. Our aim is to make it as simple as possible for you to handle and understand. It is seen as one of the most complex tax areas to be imposed on businesses. The VAT “goalposts” are constantly being moved as well as the ever changing stream of regulatory details. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is constantly demanding more and more from businesses, which adds more stress on top of what you already have to manage. It is our expertise and expertly trained eyes that help you make sure you do not miss anything and do not fall foul of the regulations. We make sure your do not pay the Chancellor any more than you need to.

Our efficient and cost-effective VAT service includes:

• Assistance with VAT registration
• Advice on VAT planning and administration
• VAT control and reconciliation
• Help with completing VAT returns
• Processes put in place to avoid future issues with HMRC
• Representing you at VAT tribunals.

You will be pleased to know that there are three extensive Business Advisory Guides (under the Infozone section in the main menu) entitled VAT – The Basics, VAT – Annual Accounting Scheme and Introduction to the Flat Rate Scheme which we hope will provide you with a lot of information relevant to this issue, from registration to compliance. Come and talk to us, to see if there are any opportunities for your business in this area.

Our fixed fee arrangements include unlimited telephone support, which includes ad hoc verbal advice on the VAT issues facing your business from time to time.

We also offer you professional fee insurance in the event of an HMRC VAT enquiry, investigation or even a compliance visit.
