VAT advisory

Our VAT specialists are on hand to help you to achieve certainty in your VAT filing position and minimise VAT risk to your business. With tax authorities becoming increasingly digitised, the ability to interrogate your VAT reporting for patterns that are unusual for the sector or that show discrepancies between the various data filed for your business is increasing. Penalties are now routinely applied where HM Revenue & Customs perceives that a lack of reasonable care has been taken in the VAT position taken by a business.

We offer our clients a range of services which are tailored to fit individual needs from a fixed price support helpline, training, system and process reviews, data interrogation and dummy VAT visits.  In respect of wider consulting matters we regularly help our recruitment agency clients with sector specific issues such as:

• Ensuring the correct VAT liability is applied and reporting submitted for cross-border contracts.
• Confirming when self-billing arrangements can be used to ease VAT invoicing.
• Identifying potential to mitigate charges to customers in sectors where VAT represents a cost in areas such as finance, health and charities.
