OlgaI've been working with Rita since the beginning of 2024 and she has really changed the way I operate as a former freelancer, and now small business owner. Rita and her team were able to scale their efforts in step with me as I've moved from freelancer, to sole trader, to Ltd company owner, always providing great advice, guidance and the right amount of pestering. As she has expanded her team, the level of quality has not decreased in any way, and they are a pleasure to work with. The one time an error was made in my accounting software, Rita both fixed the issue incredibly quickly, and refunded me that months' payment - what more can you ask for! I don't write many reviews, but Rita and her team do truly deserve this glowing endorsement of their services.

Our VAT accounting services
Whether you need to register for VAT, choose the right scheme or hand over your quarterly returns, we cover it. Here is what is included in our VAT accounting service
VAT Registration
We handle your VAT registration from start to finish. We will check whether your turnover has hit the £90,000 threshold, then take care of the whole application for you.
Not sure if you need to register yet? We will tell you where you stand, and whether signing up voluntarily could save you money.
Once HMRC approve your application, we'll confirm your VAT number and first return date so you're ready to trade.
VAT Return and Reporting Services
Every quarter, we prepare & file your VAT return for you. We work out what you owe, and once you approve it, we submit it to HMRC on time.
We also keep your records accurate all year, so your VAT is always right and you claim back every pound you are owed.
VAT returns are due 1 calendar month and 7 days after each quarter ends.
VAT Advisory Services
Not sure which VAT scheme is right for you? We will talk it through and help you pick the one that suits your business best.
As you grow, we keep an eye on your VAT, find ways to save you money, and sort out any issues before they turn into a problem.
Our VAT reporting service keeps your records accurate all year round, so your returns are right first time.

Our simple process
How Our VAT Filing Service Works
Simple process, no stress. You approve every return before it goes to HMRC, so you are always in control.
We Gather Your Records
We remind you when your return is due and tell you exactly what we need. You send us your figures, and we chase anything that is missing.
We Prepare Your Return
We go through your sales and purchases, check every figure, and make sure everything is correct before it goes anywhere near HMRC.
We File It with HMRC
Once you are happy with the figures, we submit your return through MTD-compatible software. You get a confirmation of what was filed and when.
We Confirm What You Owe
We let you know exactly how much is due and when to pay it. If you pay by Direct Debit, HMRC takes it automatically, so there is nothing left for you to do.

Frequently asked questions
Everything You Need to Know
Answers to common questions about VAT registration, returns and our VAT accounting service.
How much does an accountant charge to do VAT?
Most VAT accountants charge a fixed monthly fee rather than an hourly rate. The price depends on your turnover, the number of transactions and your VAT scheme. We agree your fee upfront, so you know the cost before any work begins.
What does a VAT accountant do?
A VAT accountant manages your VAT from start to finish. This covers registration, choosing the right scheme, keeping digital records, and preparing & filing your VAT returns with HMRC. In short, they keep you accurate, on time and compliant.
Do you need an accountant for VAT?
No, you can file VAT yourself, but many businesses choose not to. The rules, deadlines and Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements are easy to get wrong, and mistakes lead to penalties. An accountant for VAT removes that risk and saves you time.
What is VAT in accounting?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax charged on most goods and services in the UK. Registered businesses collect it on sales and reclaim it on purchases, then pay the difference to HMRC. It is reported through regular VAT returns, usually each quarter.
