This is something we can do for you, either at your office or at ours.
We will discuss your specific requirements with you and then we set up the appropriate accounting procedures and controls to ensure your accounts are kept
fully up-to-date and are fully compliant.

We aim to spare you all these headaches and free up your valuable time by offering a comprehensive Individual Self Assessment service, including:

VAT
VAT can be the bane of everyone affected by it.
The complex regime of regulations imposes a tremendous administrative burden on businesses.
With the rate being so high, mistakes in calculating VAT can be costly - and the rigid system of penalties and interest charges for mistakes and the late submission of returns adds to that burden.
We can ensure that you make payments and file returns correctly and on time.

In addition to providing a comprehensive bookkeeping and VAT accounting service, we can also advise on and help with:

• The pros and cons of voluntary registration
• The timing of compulsory registration
• Extracting maximum benefit from the rules on de-registration
• Partial exemption
• Timing and delaying VAT payments
• Flat rate VAT schemes
• VAT control visits by Customs and Excise
