Do you actually need to register for VAT right now?
Answer four quick questions about your turnover and trading situation and get a clear, personalised next step.
What I handle on your behalf
From checking whether you actually need to register, through to your first VAT return and ongoing MTD submissions, I manage the full process.
VAT Registration Assessment and Submission
I check your rolling 12-month turnover against the £90,000 threshold and confirm whether you are legally required to register. If you are, I complete and submit your VAT registration application with HMRC on your behalf. You get a clear explanation of your effective date of registration and what happens next.
Includes threshold reviewVAT Returns and Making Tax Digital Submissions
Once registered, your VAT returns must be submitted digitally under Making Tax Digital rules. I prepare and file your returns quarterly, reconciling your records and checking for errors before anything goes to HMRC. I work with QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero and Sage so your software is not a barrier.
MTD compliantVAT Scheme Advice and Tax Planning
Not every VAT-registered business should use standard VAT accounting. Depending on your turnover and sector, the Flat Rate Scheme, Cash Accounting Scheme or Annual Accounting Scheme may reduce your admin or improve your cash flow. I explain the options in plain English and recommend what fits your situation.
Included in planning reviewsWhy clients come back every year
Three things that make working with me different from a larger firm or doing this yourself.
You deal with one qualified person throughout
I am the only person who handles your work. There are no junior staff, no handoffs and no explaining yourself to a different face each time you call. When you have a VAT question, you speak to me directly and get an answer the same day.
Fixed fees with no surprises
VAT registration and ongoing returns are priced on a fixed-fee basis. You know what you are paying before we start and that number does not change because a return took longer than expected. There are no hidden extras for phone calls or quick questions.
Plain English, not accountant-speak
VAT has its own language and most of it is unnecessary. I explain your obligations, your options and your deadlines in terms you can actually use. If something matters to your business, you will understand why before I act on it.

I complete your VAT registration application with HMRC and manage any queries that come back. Once your VAT number is issued, I walk you through what changes in practice, including how to issue VAT invoices and update your pricing.
