VAT Accountant Services
As your VAT accountant, we will help you better manage and improve your VAT position.
Before speaking to us, most new clients are simply unaware of the substantial tax VAT savings we achieve because:
- We’ll help you get your VAT right the first time. You’ll save time and cost by eliminating errors and automating your systems.
- You’ll receive comprehensive, tailored UK VAT advice – for your specific needs.
- We employ an in-house Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA), qualified by the Chartered Institute of Taxation. (CTA is the UK’s highest tax qualification.)
- We can help resolve HMRC problems. Many of our tax staff have previously worked for HMRC, so we know how to work with them effectively on your behalf.
We can advise across all of your business and personal tax affairs. We’ll optimise your current situation – and help you better plan for your future.
We advise in the following areas of VAT taxation:
Business VAT Accountant Services
- VAT for Charities, Not for Profit and Disability
- Property VAT
- Cross Border VAT
- Partial Exemptions VAT
- International VAT
- VAT Agent and VAT Representative
Personal VAT Accountant Services
Examples of Our VAT Accountant Services
- We advised on a partial exemption issue, secured a one-off refund of several £100,000s, and reduced ongoing irrecoverable VAT by a similar amount. This enabled the company to continue to trade.
- We secured a VAT refund for a disabled tax client on domestic construction works as part of home improvements.
- We advised a client in the healthcare industry on improving its competitiveness by applying VAT reliefs, which were passed on to customers.
- We advised a property development client on purchasing a commercial property and converting it to a residential property. Our advice enabled our client to acquire the property by reducing its development costs.
- We obtained a new client from another accountant who had resigned as the work was too complex. The group comprised three UK-limited companies. They brought goods from China by shipping containers to Europe, docking at several ports, for onward transmission to consumers. We explained European VAT and eliminated their UK VAT exposure. We eased his angst over UK tax matters – allowing him to focus on his business.
