MTD-compliant VAT handled from registration to filing — the right scheme for your business, accurate returns, and never a missed submission.
Accounts & compliance
Here's exactly what's involved — and how your own named accountant handles each part for you.
VAT is one of the easiest taxes to get wrong and one of the most costly when you do. We take care of the whole cycle — keeping the digital records, preparing each return, checking it and filing it on time.
You must register once your taxable turnover crosses the threshold on a rolling 12-month basis, but in some cases registering voluntarily before that point makes sense. We monitor your turnover so you register at the right time, neither late nor unnecessarily early.
Not everything you sell is necessarily taxed at the standard rate, and applying the wrong rate is a common and expensive mistake. We make sure each supply is treated correctly across the full range of VAT rates.
Making Tax Digital for VAT has applied to all VAT-registered businesses since April 2022. That means keeping digital records and filing through MTD-compatible software — paper records and manual submissions are no longer allowed.
Most businesses file VAT returns quarterly. The return and any payment are due one month and seven days after the period ends, and we make sure both are dealt with comfortably ahead of time.
Some sectors and transactions need special handling. If you work in construction, the VAT domestic reverse charge applies to most CIS services and changes how VAT is accounted for between contractors and subcontractors — we deal with this routinely.
