VAT
We work closely with you to guide you through the ever increasing and changing legislation in this area and ensure that VAT is applied and accounted for correctly in your business. This can be particularly complex where overseas trade is involved.
VAT specialists to guide and support you and your business
We can assist with the initial registration process, the selection of the most appropriate VAT scheme, advise on record keeping to ensure that the maximum amount of VAT is recovered and help with completion of returns.
VAT can be integral to certain transactions, our specialists will ensure that you are aware of the implications of your business transactions.
For eligible businesses, there is a requirement to file accounts and timely VAT returns with HMRC and there could a penalty for non-compliance.

Spring Budget 2023
The first Budget since October 2021 was widely expected to be an uneventful affair. Five months ago, the then new Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, presented an Autumn Statement that was more of a Budget than many formal Budgets. Not only did his Autumn Statement result in a greater increase in the tax burden than most Budgets – £55 billion by 2027/28 – it was also accompanied by a Finance Bill.
