VAT

VAT is a complex area that is often misinterpreted.

Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to accumulate interest and penalty charges that are avoidable given the right advice.

Take advantage of our fixed fee health checks – a review of your records, systems and overall indirect tax position, alerts to problem areas, recommendations for improvements and the option of practical help with implementation.

Every year VAT regulations become more complex, and the impact of Brexit on VAT is still unknown. Our strong contacts within HMRC put us in a good position to guide our clients through this.

You can outsource your bookkeeping and VAT to our dedicated team or seek our help with any aspects of your VAT administration.

On the face of it VAT is very simple – but in practice it’s incredibly complex and can be difficult to interpret and apply.

Another potential pitfall is that VAT is a “transactional tax” – if you miss the opportunity to plan in advance for the VAT consequences of a transaction before you actually do it, it may be too late.
