VAT Returns
VAT returns can be a headache, however we have the technology, knowledge and experience to make it a breeze.

You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover passes £90,000 (and you can register voluntarily below that). We take care of the whole cycle — from record keeping to filing under Making Tax Digital — so deadlines never creep up on you.
Registration is required once taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12 months. We advise on the right time to register — including voluntary registration where it benefits you.
Most VAT-registered businesses file quarterly, though some file monthly or annually. We set the right cycle for you.
Each return typically covers a three-month period, reporting sales, purchases and the VAT amounts on each.
Businesses must report their sales, purchases, and the VAT charged and reclaimed for the period.
Filing is done online through HMRC's Making Tax Digital (MTD) system — we keep your records MTD-compliant.
The deadline is usually one calendar month and seven days after the end of the return period.
Payments to HMRC are made electronically. We make sure the right amount is paid at the right time.
Your VAT liability is output tax (on sales) minus input tax (on purchases). We reconcile both accurately.
VAT records must be kept for at least six years — we keep yours organised and audit-ready.
