VAT returns, filed digitally and on time.

FAQ

What people usually ask us.

Do I have to register for VAT?

Registration is compulsory when your taxable turnover goes over the threshold, currently £90,000 in any rolling 12 months, and you can register voluntarily below it. We check where your company stands and explain what applies.

What is Making Tax Digital for VAT?

It is HMRC's requirement that VAT-registered businesses keep digital records and submit their VAT returns using compatible software, instead of typing figures into HMRC's website. We keep your records in MTD-compatible software and submit the returns for you.

How often are VAT returns due?

Most businesses file quarterly, with each return and payment due one month and seven days after the end of the period. We track your dates and prepare each return before the deadline.
