How we help accountants

When working as an accountant, either in-house or independently, there is an obligation to help your clients to make the most of their VAT liabilities. This can be achieved by reducing payments or improving the accuracy of their VAT declarations. It is also essential that accountants help clients to avoid potentially costly HMRC penalties.

Our team of specialists can help you to do this, and we offer a range of services to ensure you are able to do so. Services include:

Hospitals and Healthcare VAT

We can assist healthcare institutions by providing advice on whether the relevant VAT exemption criteria are met, and, in the event this is not the case, help determine the amount of VAT due on goods/services provided.

Housing Associations

As experts in our field, we can ensure that your organisation is not only paying the proper VAT across all income streams, but that you are taking full advantage of any exemptions or savings that you are eligible for.

Import/Export (Customs)

We offer a full range of VAT consultancy, support and advice services to help companies involved in international trade to understand which VAT rules apply to them, and to discuss any issues involving customs and excise duties or Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status.
