Knowing when you should register for, or deregister from, VAT and which of the HMRC VAT schemes could be beneficial to your business, such as cash accounting, the flat rate scheme, or the margin scheme, is just as important as knowing how to treat specific transactions on your VAT return. We can advise and assist in all areas of VAT, including more complex issues such as option to tax, import VAT deferment, partial exemption, and the transfer of a going concern.
Our VAT service fees can vary considerably depending on the size and complexity of your business, and whether or not you also ask us to take care of your bookkeeping. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss how VAT affects your business.
In the event that you are selected for an HMRC enquiry or investigation, we can liaise directly with HMRC on your behalf, in order to resolve the situation as quickly and painlessly as possible. Brays also offers Tax Investigation Cover; assuming you have the cover in place before the start of any HMRC enquiry, our fees for this additional work will be paid by the insurer.
