VAT.

VAT is where good businesses get tripped by admin: registering late, reclaiming what they shouldn't, missing a Direct Debit. We handle registration, prepare and file returns under Making Tax Digital, and check the scheme you're on is still the right one as you grow.

VAT a quarter, closing

01 — All quarter

The invoices collect themselves

Sales one side, purchases the other — captured through the software as they happen, not typed up in a panic at the deadline.

02 — Computed

The split works itself out

Output VAT, input VAT, the difference — reconciled against the bank before anything is filed.

03 — Filed

Submitted under MTD, on time

Digital records, compatible software, filed ahead of the deadline. Compliance is built into the routine.

04 — Collected

Paid, diarised, done

The Direct Debit timing is watched so the money leaves when it should — and the next quarter’s dates are already tracked.

What's included

  • VAT registration and deregistration
  • Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed under MTD
  • Scheme reviews — flat rate, cash accounting, annual accounting
  • Threshold monitoring so registration never arrives as a surprise
  • HMRC VAT queries and inspections supported

Common questions

When do I have to register for VAT?

When your taxable turnover for the last 12 months passes the registration threshold (£90,000), or when you expect it to in the next 30 days. Check the current threshold on GOV.UK — and talk to us before you get near it, because voluntary registration is sometimes worth it earlier.

What is Making Tax Digital?

VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and file returns through compatible software. We set the software up and file through it, so compliance is built in.
