VAT Services – West London UK

Before speaking to us, most new clients are simply unaware of the substantial UK VAT tax and time savings they can achieve.

We provide great value because:

• We’ll help you get your VAT right the first time.
• You’ll save time and cost by eliminating errors and automating your systems.
• You’ll receive comprehensive, tailored UK VAT advice – for your specific needs.
• We employ an in-house Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA) qualified by the Chartered Institute of Taxation. (CTA is the UK’s highest tax qualification.)
• We can help resolve HMRC problems. Many of our tax staff have previously worked for HMRC, so we know how to work with them effectively on your behalf.

UK VAT Bookkeeping

Our bookkeepers (for Zero, Sage and Quickbooks) can manage all of your VAT requirements, including:

• Registering your company for UK VAT.
• Acting as your UK VAT Agent / Representative.
• VAT reporting and VAT returns to process your:
  • Expenses
  • Invoices
  • Refunds
• Managing VAT and Global Sales Taxes for drop-shippers.

UK VAT Services

We advise in the following specialist areas of UK VAT:

• VAT – Agent / Representative
• VAT – Import / Export
  • VAT – Exporting from the EU / Importing into the UK
  • VAT – Exporting from the UK / Importing into the EU
• VAT – Property
• VAT – Partial Exemption
• VAT – Cross Border
• VAT – Charities, Not for Profit and Disability

Examples of Our VAT Services

• Our team has advised on a partial exemption matter. We secured a one-off refund of several £ 100,000 and reduced ongoing irrecoverable VAT by a similar amount, enabling the company to continue to trade.
• We secured a VAT refund for a disabled tax client on domestic construction works as part of home improvements.
• We advised a client in the healthcare industry on improving its competitiveness by applying VAT reliefs which were passed on to customers.
• We advised a property development client on purchasing commercial property and converting it into a residential property. Our advice enabled our client to acquire the property by reducing its development costs.
• We obtained a new client from another accountant. (They had resigned as the work was too complex.) The group comprised three UK-limited companies. They acquired goods from China by shipping containers that docked at various ports in Europe for onward transmission to consumers. We eliminated their UK VAT exposure and eased their angst over UK tax matters, allowing them to focus on their business.
