VAT
Value Added Tax continues to be a highly complex tax that all types of businesses have to deal with and the introduction of MTD (Making Tax Digital) for VAT in 2019 added to the administrative burden of completing VAT returns.
Our approachable and reliable business services team have built an excellent reputation for helping clients fulfil their VAT compliance requirements with our services ranging from a simple review of a VAT return prepared by you prior to submission through to more hands-on book keeping followed by the preparation and submission of the VAT return to HMRC.
Our tax team also provides advice on the treatment of transactions for VAT purposes including advising on the Domestic Reverse Charge, treatment of the sale of goods or services outside of the UK and Options to Tax in relation to land and buildings.
Tax Enquiries
The Government continues to focus on reducing the ‘tax gap’ through targeted enquiries. Our experienced team has an excellent record dealing with tax enquiries thanks to our ethos of working closely with you from the start to the end of the enquiry. We will communicate directly with HM Revenue & Customs during the enquiry, agree any adjustments needed and advise you throughout the process.
