What is VAT, and Why Does It Matter?

If your business turnover exceeds £90,000 in the past 12 months, VAT registration is mandatory. You must register for VAT within 30 days of the end of the month when your taxable turnover exceeds the threshold. Additionally, you must register if you expect your taxable turnover to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days alone. But VAT isn’t always straightforward.

Even if your turnover is below the threshold, it might still be beneficial to register voluntarily. VAT registration can signal growth and credibility to your customers, while also giving you access to reclaimable input VAT.

We not only assist with mandatory VAT registration but also evaluate your unique situation to determine whether it makes financial sense for your business to register voluntarily.

VAT Registration Made Easy

The VAT registration process can feel overwhelming, especially with HMRC’s rules and compliance requirements. Our team ensures the process is seamless by:

• Determining whether your business should register for VAT.
• Handling all the paperwork required for VAT reporting.
• Advising on the most suitable VAT scheme for your business type, such as the Flat Rate Scheme or Cash Accounting Scheme.

With us, you’ll stay compliant with HMRC while gaining the confidence to focus on growing your business.
