Why use a tax accountant for VAT returns?
A VAT return is not just a simple box-filling exercise. VAT can involve different rates, exempt income, disallowed input tax, business and private use, reverse charge rules, imports, online sales, credit notes, bad debt relief, cash accounting, flat rate scheme issues and HMRC penalties. A professional review helps reduce errors before the return is submitted.
We help you avoid common VAT errors
- Claiming input VAT without proper VAT invoices
- Using the wrong VAT rate on sales
- Missing VAT on online or platform sales
- Incorrect treatment of exempt or outside-scope income
- Not reconciling VAT returns to bookkeeping records
- Submitting late VAT returns and triggering penalties
