From first registration to complex HMRC enquiries — specialist support at every step, delivered with fixed, transparent fees.
We complete and submit your VAT registration application to HMRC, handling identity verification, business activity codes and effective-date decisions. Includes advice on voluntary registration — often beneficial for reclaiming input VAT before trading begins.
Your quarterly returns prepared, reviewed and submitted through compliant digital software. We reconcile all nine boxes, check for common errors such as misapplied reverse charge, and keep copies of every submission for your records.
If a compliance check or aspect enquiry is opened, we act as your agent from day one: responding to information notices, preparing technical submissions, negotiating settlements and, where justified, managing appeals.
Trading internationally adds layers of VAT complexity. We advise on postponed VAT accounting (PVA), import C79 certificates, domestic reverse charge, distance selling rules and the treatment of goods moving between the UK and EU.
The right VAT scheme can save thousands each year. We review your trading pattern and model your position across the Standard, Flat Rate, Cash Accounting and Annual Accounting schemes — then recommend the best fit as your turnover grows.
Ceasing trade, selling the business or falling below the threshold? We file the cancellation with HMRC within the 30-day window, prepare the final return and calculate any adjustment on stock and assets held at deregistration.
Registration is compulsory once your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold in any rolling 12-month period, or you expect to exceed it in the next 30 days. You can also register voluntarily — often worthwhile if you reclaim more input VAT than you charge, or if your customers are VAT-registered businesses.
MTD requires VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and submit returns through MTD-compatible software. We handle the software, the digital links and the submission — you simply provide your figures or grant us access to your records.
Yes — switching is straightforward. Once you authorise us (typically via form 64-8 or your HMRC online account), we contact your previous agent for handover information and manage the transition without interrupting any filing deadlines.
Send it to us as soon as it arrives. We'll assess what HMRC is asking, respond within the required timescale and keep you informed at every stage. Early, professional responses significantly improve outcomes and can reduce or eliminate penalties.
It depends on your sector, cost base and customer mix. The Flat Rate Scheme suits low-cost service businesses; Cash Accounting helps with slow payers; Annual Accounting reduces filing frequency. We model each option against your actual figures before recommending anything.
Tell us about your situation and we'll point you in the right direction — free of charge and with no obligation.
