VAT registration, scheme advice and Making Tax Digital VAT returns, prepared accurately, filed on time and set up on the right scheme for you.
What our VAT returns service covers
VAT is one of the easier taxes to get wrong. The rules on what you can reclaim, which scheme to use and how to treat different sales are detailed, and returns now have to be filed digitally under Making Tax Digital.
We look after VAT from registration onwards: choosing the right scheme, preparing accurate returns and filing them on time through compatible software.

How we help with your VAT returns
We make sure you register at the right time and on the right scheme, and that every return is accurate and submitted before the deadline. Where the rules are not clear-cut, we apply them sensibly and keep good records in case HMRC ever asks.
Do you need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 over any rolling 12-month period, or if you expect to exceed it within the next 30 days. Some businesses also choose to register voluntarily. These figures reflect the position as of October 2026 (2026/27 tax year) and can change at future fiscal events. Always confirm current rates, thresholds and deadlines on GOV.UK or ask us before acting.

Registration is compulsory once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period, or if you expect to pass it within 30 days. We monitor this for clients so registration happens at the right time.
It depends on your margins, customers and cash flow. The Flat Rate, Cash Accounting and Annual Accounting schemes each suit particular situations. We assess which is most beneficial and compliant for you.
