VAT is where good businesses get caught out.

Wrong scheme, missed deadlines, the reverse charge applied incorrectly — VAT mistakes are easy to make and expensive to fix. We take it off your desk entirely.

Let's fix it

You're on the wrong VAT scheme and quietly overpaying every quarter.

Making Tax Digital means you need compliant software and digital links — and you're not sure yours count.

The construction domestic reverse charge confuses everyone, and getting it wrong triggers HMRC queries.

Deadlines sneak up and a late return means an automatic penalty point.

What you get

Your VAT, from registration to every return.

Whether you're newly over the threshold or long registered, we handle the lot.

VAT registration & de-registration

We advise whether and when to register, handle the application, and get you set up on MTD correctly.

The right scheme for you

Standard, Flat Rate, Cash Accounting, Annual — we model which one leaves the most in your business and switch you if needed.

Quarterly MTD returns

Prepared from your digital records with the required digital links, reviewed, and filed on time every quarter.

CIS reverse charge

The domestic reverse charge for construction applied correctly on both sides — a common trap we handle every day.

Deadline & payment reminders

You always know what's due and when, with time to set the money aside.

HMRC VAT queries handled

If HMRC asks questions or opens a check, we deal with them as your agent.

Good to know

VAT Returns & MTD, answered.

When do I have to register for VAT?

You must register once your VAT-taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period, or if you expect to cross it in the next 30 days. Sometimes registering voluntarily below that makes sense — we'll tell you honestly whether it helps you or not.

What does Making Tax Digital for VAT actually require?

You need to keep digital records and file your returns using MTD-compatible software with unbroken 'digital links' — no retyping figures into a portal. We set this up in Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent and file for you, so it's fully compliant.

How does the construction reverse charge work?

For most CIS-registered construction services between VAT-registered businesses, the customer accounts for the VAT instead of the supplier. It affects your invoices and your returns on both sides. It's one of the most-mishandled areas in the trade — and one we deal with constantly.

Can you just take over our existing VAT returns?

Yes. We review whether you're on the best scheme, tidy up the bookkeeping behind the numbers, and take over filing — usually saving you time and, often, money.
