Who We Work With

VAT sorted for limited companies and sole traders.

Whether you are a VAT registered limited company or a sole trader who has crossed the threshold, quarterly returns have a habit of creeping up faster than expected — especially when you are busy running a business.

We handle the full process: pulling your figures from Xero or your records, reviewing your input tax, preparing the return and submitting it to HMRC on time. You get confirmation once it is done and know exactly what is owed well before the payment deadline.

Common Questions

VAT Returns — answered.

When do I need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12 month period. You also need to register if you expect to exceed the threshold in the next 30 days alone. Voluntary registration is also possible below the threshold and can be beneficial in some circumstances — we can advise on whether it makes sense for your business.
What is Making Tax Digital for VAT and does it apply to me?
Making Tax Digital for VAT has been mandatory for all VAT registered businesses since April 2022. It requires you to keep digital records and submit returns using MTD compatible software. We handle this as standard for every client — you do not need to worry about the technical side.
When are VAT returns due?
For most businesses on standard quarterly returns, your VAT return and payment are due one calendar month and seven days after the end of your VAT period. We track your deadlines and submit well in advance so you always know what is owed before the due date.
I am based in Farnborough or Aldershot — do you work locally?
We are based in Fleet and work with businesses across Fleet, Farnborough, Aldershot and the wider Hampshire and Surrey area, as well as remotely throughout the UK. Everything is handled online so there is no need to come into an office.
What VAT schemes are available and which is best for my business?
The main schemes are the standard method, the Flat Rate Scheme, Cash Accounting and Annual Accounting. Each has advantages depending on your turnover, sector and cash flow. We will recommend the most suitable scheme when you come on board and review it as your business grows.
How much does VAT return preparation cost?
Our VAT pricing starts from £20 per month (averaged from a quarterly fee) for businesses with turnover under £50,000, rising based on turnover and complexity. Use our package builder to get an instant quote tailored to your business.
