Our VAT Consultancy Services
We offer a range of VAT consultancy services designed to help your business handle VAT efficiently and accurately. Here’s a rundown of how we can assist:
VAT Registration Services
Registering for VAT can be a critical step for growing businesses. Our VAT consultants assess whether it’s necessary (or beneficial) for your business to register. We handle the entire process, ensuring that your business meets the VAT threshold requirements and is set up for smooth compliance from the start.
VAT Return Preparation and Filing
Filing VAT returns accurately and on time is essential for avoiding penalties. Our team prepares your VAT returns, meticulously reviewing each entry to ensure accuracy. We’ll also ensure that you’re claiming all allowable deductions, reducing your overall VAT burden wherever possible.
VAT Compliance and Audit Support
VAT compliance is non-negotiable, but that doesn’t mean it has to be stressful. Our consultants provide ongoing support to ensure your VAT practices align with HMRC requirements. If you ever face a VAT audit, we’ll guide you through it, offering support and representation to make the process as smooth as possible.
VAT Planning and Strategy Development
Strategic VAT planning helps businesses manage cash flow and improve tax efficiency. We develop VAT strategies that align with your business objectives, helping to reduce VAT liabilities without compromising compliance. From choosing the right VAT scheme to timing your VAT payments effectively, our consultants bring strategies that suit your financial landscape.
International VAT Solutions
Doing business beyond the UK? International VAT can get tricky, with each country having its own set of VAT rules. Our team specialises in cross-border VAT, ensuring that you meet all international VAT obligations while optimising your tax strategy. We help you manage EU VAT compliance, imports, exports, and VAT reclaim opportunities for global operations.
VAT for Property and Construction
The VAT regulations around property and construction can be particularly complex, with rules that differ based on the nature of the project and property type. We guide property developers, investors, and contractors on the right VAT approach, helping them navigate zero-rating, reduced rates, and exemptions.
VAT Training for In-House Teams
Empowering your team with VAT knowledge can be invaluable for day-to-day operations. We provide tax compliance consulting services and VAT training tailored to your business’s unique needs, covering essential topics such as VAT invoicing, compliance best practices, and industry-specific VAT regulations. Our training sessions ensure that your team has the know-how to handle VAT confidently and correctly.
Partial Exemption Consultancy
For businesses that provide both VAT-able and exempt goods/services, calculating the correct VAT amount can be challenging. Our consultants specialise in partial exemption, helping you determine how much VAT can be reclaimed. We develop solutions to ensure your VAT calculations are accurate and maximised where possible.
VAT Dispute Resolution and Appeals
Facing a VAT dispute with HMRC? Don’t go it alone. Our VAT consultancy team offers support for dispute resolution, helping you prepare and present your case effectively. From technical advice to appeals representation, we stand by your side to protect your interests and work toward a fair resolution.
