How we help

Each quarter we pull the data from your bookkeeping, review every transaction, query anything that doesn't look right, and submit your return through MTD-compliant software. We also review your scheme annually — many of our clients save money by switching from Standard to Flat Rate, or vice versa, as their business evolves. If HMRC comes knocking, we handle the correspondence and represent you throughout.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need to register for VAT?+

Once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month period, registration is compulsory. You can also register voluntarily below that threshold, which sometimes makes sense for B2B businesses.

Which VAT scheme should I be on?+

It depends on your turnover, sector and cashflow needs. We review this for every client during onboarding and again annually — and recommend changes when they'd save you money.

What is MTD for VAT?+

Making Tax Digital requires VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and submit returns through compatible software. We handle this for you using Xero or QuickBooks.

Can you help if I'm behind on VAT?+

Yes. We regularly help clients catch up on overdue returns, negotiate with HMRC and get penalties reduced where possible.
