VAT Returns Without the Last-Minute Stress

VAT deadlines have a habit of coming around quickly!

If your bookkeeping isn't up to date, preparing a VAT return can become a stressful exercise in finding missing invoices, checking transactions and trying to make the figures balance.

We believe VAT should be managed through a clear, organised process.

By keeping records accurate, reviewing figures and identifying issues early, we can help make the whole process more straightforward.

And if your records have fallen behind, we can help you work through what needs to be done before your next return.

VAT Registration and Thresholds

Not every business needs to be VAT registered, but it's important to understand when registration becomes compulsory.

Some businesses also choose to register voluntarily, depending on their circumstances.

We can help you understand the practical implications of VAT registration, including how it affects your invoicing, record keeping and cash flow.

If your business is approaching the VAT registration threshold, it's important to review your taxable turnover regularly rather than waiting until the end of your financial year.

We can help you identify when registration may be required and assist with the process.

Making Tax Digital (MTD)

VAT-registered businesses are generally required to maintain digital VAT records and submit returns using Making Tax Digital compatible software.

We work with accounting software to help businesses meet these requirements and keep their VAT records organised.

Whether you're already using digital accounting software or need help getting your systems in order, we can discuss what works best for your business.

Different VAT Schemes

Not every VAT-registered business accounts for VAT in exactly the same way.

Depending on your business and eligibility, you may use:

• Standard VAT Accounting — generally accounting for VAT based on invoice dates.

• Cash Accounting Scheme — generally accounting for VAT when customers pay you and when you pay suppliers.

• Flat Rate Scheme — calculating VAT payments using a fixed percentage of VAT-inclusive turnover, subject to scheme rules.

• Annual Accounting Scheme — submitting one VAT return each year while making payments towards your VAT liability.

We can help you understand how your existing scheme works and, where appropriate, discuss whether a different arrangement may be worth considering.
