Common questions about VAT & MTD Compliance
Are you set up for Making Tax Digital?
Yes. Every VAT return we prepare is built for MTD-compliant digital submission from the ground up, with a full digital link trail.
Do you file directly with HMRC?
We prepare review-ready returns and computations; your practice retains final sign-off and submission, keeping you in control of client relationships and liability.
Do you handle partial exemption and flat-rate calculations?
Yes. Partial exemption apportionment and flat-rate scheme calculations are prepared as standard whenever a client's VAT scheme requires them, not as an add-on.
What if my client needs quarterly or annual VAT accounting?
We work to whichever VAT accounting period your client is registered under: standard quarterly, the annual accounting scheme, or cash accounting. The working papers are built to match.
Can you help register a new client for VAT?
Yes. We can prepare VAT registration and de-registration paperwork alongside ongoing return preparation, so onboarding a newly VAT-registered client doesn't add extra work for your team.
How is VAT preparation priced?
Lower-volume practices are typically quoted Per-Return; once you're filing more than a handful of VAT returns a quarter, a Fixed Monthly Retainer usually works out simpler and more predictable.
What happens as Making Tax Digital requirements expand?
As MTD requirements broaden beyond VAT, including the phased rollout of MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment, we track what it means for your affected clients and flag it ahead of time rather than leaving your team to monitor HMRC's timetable alone.
