The "Right" VAT Scheme for Your Growth

Standard or flat rate? Picking the wrong VAT scheme can cost you thousands in lost reclaims or unnecessary tax. We help you choose and implement the most efficient model

Threshold Monitoring

For our non-VAT registered clients, we track your rolling 12-month turnover monthly. We'll give you a "VAT Warning" 3-6 months before you hit the limit, so we can plan your pricing strategy together.

MTD-Native Filing

We are 100% Making Tax Digital compliant. Your returns are filed directly from Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent, ensuring an unbroken digital audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! You can generally reclaim VAT on goods bought up to 4 years before registration (if you still have them) and services bought up to 6 months before. We’ll perform a "Pre-Registration VAT Audit" to put money back in your pocket.

  • Yes. Many Brighton firms are moving away from P11Ds and choosing to payroll benefits like health insurance directly. We can set this up for you to simplify your year-end tax reporting.

  • HMRC uses a points-based system. For every late submission, you receive 1 point. Once you hit a threshold (usually 4 points), you receive an immediate £200 fine, with further fines for subsequent late filings. We ensure you never miss a submission.
