VAT (Value Added Tax) is a tax levied at each stage of a supply chain between traders. Most services and goods are considered taxable, however there are exceptions. The VAT system is designed to allow every person in a supply chain to recover the VAT sustained by them on their costs. The purpose of this is that it is the end customer that ultimately incurs the tax liability.
VAT returns are typically due quarterly or annually, depending on your registration status. You can always check your VAT periods by logging in to your government gateway account for VAT. We help ensure you stay compliant with deadlines to avoid penalties.
You can claim back VAT on business expenses, such as stock, materials, and certain overheads, as long as they are used for business purposes. We can guide you through the process to ensure you are correctly positioned.
Fines and interest charges can apply if you miss deadlines, underreport VAT, or make errors in your filings. You can also incur penalties for late VAT registrations. Our services help reduce the risk of non-compliance and costly mistakes.
There are various VAT schemes (like standard, flat rate, and cash accounting), each with different benefits. We evaluate your business and recommend the most appropriate scheme to reduce costs.
Not all goods and services are subject to VAT. Some items may be exempt or zero-rated. We assist you in understanding which of your sales are taxable and which are exempt.
If your business income falls below the VAT registration threshold (£90,000), you can deregister for VAT, but we’ll advise you on whether that’s the right decision for your business.
VAT-exempt items are not subject to tax at all, while zero-rated items are still taxable but at a rate of 0%. Understanding this distinction can affect your requirement to register and VAT returns. We help ensure you’re applying the correct classifications.
Yes, keeping accurate records of VAT-related transactions is essential for compliance. We can advise on what records you need to maintain and how long to keep them.
