Accurate, MTD-compliant VAT return preparation — every figure reviewed against the correct VAT rate and scheme, not assumed.
End-to-end VAT compliance handled for you, quarter after quarter.
Every VAT return reviewed against a structured RMS checklist, built around HMRC VAT guidelines — designed to catch anomalies before your team reviews it.
High-value and VAT-sensitive transactions checked against supporting documentation, with anything lacking evidence raised as a query — never assumed for input VAT recovery.
Sound technical knowledge of allowable and disallowable input VAT, including correct treatment of blocked input VAT categories.
International transactions reviewed for correct VAT rate application, including cross-border treatment where relevant.
VAT rates checked for consistency across similar transactions and vendors, with particular attention to sector-specific complexity — including construction industry VAT, where rate treatment is often highly technical.
Turnover and VAT liability reconciled against the underlying financial records — including the VAT liability shown on the HMRC portal against the balance sheet — with any timing differences or discrepancies identified and explained.
