Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need to register for VAT?

You must register for VAT when your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period (as of 2024). You can also register voluntarily below this threshold. We advise on the best time to register and which VAT scheme suits your business.

What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?

MTD for VAT requires all VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and submit VAT returns using HMRC-compatible software. We ensure your business is fully MTD compliant using Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage.

What VAT scheme is best for my business?

It depends on your turnover, industry, and cash flow. Options include the standard scheme, flat rate scheme, cash accounting scheme, and annual accounting scheme. We analyse your situation and recommend the most beneficial approach.

What happens if I make a mistake on my VAT return?

Errors must be corrected. Minor errors can be adjusted on your next return. Larger errors require separate disclosure to HMRC. We handle all corrections and HMRC correspondence to minimise penalties.
