Partial VAT Exemptions

Partial VAT Exemptions

Partial VAT exemptions are a specialist area. Many new clients are initially simply unaware of the substantial VAT savings available.

The use of VAT partial exemptions can be triggered when a business is registered for VAT and also offers VAT-exempt or out-of-scope services.

We help optimise VAT recovery for businesses in the

  • Property sector
  • Financial services sectors
  • Cross-border import sector
  • Health sector

How We Help Minimise VAT

Our in-depth VAT expertise enables us to work creatively to reduce your VAT. We can design a tailor-made partial exemption VAT scheme for you and agree on it with HMRC to minimise your irrecoverable VAT because:

  • We employ an in-house Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA), qualified by the Chartered Institute of Taxation. (CTA is the UK’s highest tax qualification.) He helps our clients reduce their taxes and risks, by providing the highest quality advice for businesses and high-net-worth individuals.
  • Many of our tax staff have previously worked for HMRC – so we also know how to work with them – on your behalf effectively. 

Examples of Help We’ve Provided

Our Managing Director designed a VAT scheme for a struggling company which secured a £200,000 refund.

It remained viable because we minimised irrecoverable VAT. As a result, profits increased and the shareholders received dividends.
