VAT Registration, Returns and Compliance

VAT is one of the most common areas where businesses run into trouble with HMRC. We keep you compliant and make sure you’re reclaiming everything you’re owed.

You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period. Late registration means you owe VAT from the date you should have registered, not the date you actually did — and that backdated liability comes with penalties and interest. We monitor your turnover and flag the threshold before you cross it.

 

Once registered, you file VAT returns — typically quarterly — and keep digital records under HMRC’s Making Tax Digital for VAT rules, which have applied to all VAT-registered businesses since April 2022. We prepare and submit your returns using MTD-compliant software, check that you’re reclaiming all the input VAT you’re entitled to, and advise on which VAT scheme works best for your business.

 

The Flat Rate Scheme, Cash Accounting, and Annual Accounting schemes each suit different business types. We assess which one saves you the most money and advise accordingly. And if HMRC raises a VAT enquiry or issues an assessment, we handle the correspondence and represent you.
