VAT
Many businesses unintentionally over or underpay Value Added Tax (VAT) as a result of its complexity.
The widening parameters of this burdensome tax and frequent changes made by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) often require the assistance of a professional to ensure that businesses comply with the relevant regulations.
We provide an efficient VAT service, which includes:
- Assistance with VAT registration
- Advice on VAT planning and administration
- Use of the most appropriate scheme
- VAT control and reconciliation
- Help with completing VAT returns
- Planning to minimise future problems with HMRC
- Negotiating with HMRC in disputes and representing you at VAT tribunals.

Fee Protection Service
To give our clients even greater peace of mind, we offer a fee protection service. For a small annual fee, you are protected against the professional costs of dealing with an HMRC investigation. This service is backed by an insurance policy held by the firm, ensuring that if you are selected for an enquiry, our fees for handling the process are covered.
As part of this service, you will also have access to a business, employment and legal helpline, giving you expert advice on a wide range of legal matters whenever you need it.
Dealing with HMRC without expert support can be daunting. We not only remove the stress of handling the investigation yourself but also use our knowledge of tax law and procedure to ensure your rights are protected and your liabilities are minimised.
Our approach is professional, discreet, and proactive. We explain the process clearly, keep you fully informed, and work tirelessly to resolve matters as quickly and smoothly as possible.
If you are facing an HMRC investigation, don’t panic—let us do the hard work for you. Contact our team today to discuss your situation and to find out more about the protection and peace of mind offered by our fee protection service.
