UK VAT Agent and VAT Representative
UK VAT Agent and VAT Representative
We’ll help you manage and improve your VAT position. We provide great value because:
- Working as either your VAT Agent or VAT Representative, we will manage all aspects of your UK VAT and financial reporting, including:
- Registering you or your company for VAT.
- Managing drop-shipping VAT.
- Collating and processing your accounts receivable and accounts payable data.
- Producing and submitting your VAT Return to HMRC (the UK tax authority).
- Our bookkeepers and accountants can fulfil all your VAT requirements – from data entry to management reporting. Leaving you free to focus on managing your business.
- Many of our tax staff have previously worked for HMRC – so we know how to work with them – on your behalf effectively.
We can advise across all of your business, and personal, tax affairs. We’ll optimise your current situation – and help you better plan for your future.
We advise in the following areas of VAT taxation:
Business VAT
- VAT – Cross Border
- VAT – Charities, Not for Profit and Disability
- VAT – Property
- VAT – Partial Exemptions
- VAT – Import/Export
Personal VAT
Examples of Our VAT Services
- Our team has advised on partial exemption matters in order to secure a one-off refund of several £100,000s and reduce ongoing irrecoverable VAT by a similar amount. This enabled 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 how to improve its competitiveness by applying VAT reliefs, which were passed on to customers.
- We advised a property development client on the purchase of commercial property and converting it to 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 client group comprised three UK-limited companies. They acquired goods from China by shipping containers that were docked at various ports in Europe for onward transmission to consumers. We eliminated their UK VAT exposure and eased their angst on UK tax matters, allowing them to focus on their business.
