Advisory on complex VAT matters

Whether dealing with multi-jurisdictional transactions, partial exemption, or sector-specific regulations, our support enables businesses to address the most challenging VAT scenarios.

LET US HELP YOU WEATHER

THE STORM

International expansion

The VAT and GST rules across the world are constantly evolving and trading internationally can seem like a minefield. We help you map out your expansion plans and identify the potential VAT reporting requirements you may have. Even better, we can help you meet these obligations with our international VAT compliance offering.

 

VAT reviews

VAT can be a decentralised tax with decisions being taken by people outside of finance that can impact the VAT position. This can be the marketing team and how they think a product may sell the best, the commercial team agreeing terms of contract or the logistics team looking for cost efficient shipping routes. If VAT is not considered with these decisions, you may not be complying with the VAT or GST rules in the UK or beyond.


A VAT review will look at all aspects of the business, not just the VAT return and can help give you comfort that you are compliant or work with you to correct any errors identified.

Transaction analysis

We often speak to clients who are doing something new, whether that be investing in property, introducing new products, markets or offerings and are nervous about the potential VAT implications. We can help simplify the VAT implications and guide you through the steps required to comply with all your VAT requirements.

HMRC support

Contact from HMRC makes most people nervous and we understand that. We have helped many businesses navigate audits with HMRC. For some, they would like a review beforehand to understand any areas of risk whereas others like our attendance at the meeting with HMRC.


Whatever support you require, we find that HMRC view the business in a better light for getting help and demonstrating that they are taking their VAT obligations seriously.

VAT registration

Some business do not know exactly what they need to include in their turnover and this can result in registering for VAT too early (which can impact profit margins) or too late (which can result in penalties). Also, many do not realise that the purchase of some services from abroad should be added to their turnover for the purposes of the VAT registration threshold. We help businesses to understand the VAT treatment of their income streams and expenses to identify the correct time to register for VAT.

I have worked with Ali for many years, both as a DMGT work colleague and with her as an external advisor. In all these years Ali has been totally professional and diligent in her work and at hand whenever I have needed to discuss an issue, no matter how small. 



Ali has on many occasions prepared draft correspondence to HMRC on technical matters where her expertise was invaluable, she has also assisted with audits and recovery of VAT. Ali has also provided us with advice to support us with tax requirements in various other tax jurisdictions. All of this was done with a constant good humour
