Frequently asked questions
When do I need to register for VAT?
When your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period. You can also register voluntarily below this threshold, which can be beneficial in some situations. We'll advise you on the right timing.
What is Making Tax Digital for VAT?
MTD for VAT requires VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and submit returns using compatible software. All our clients are fully MTD-compliant — we handle the software setup.
Is the Flat Rate Scheme worth it?
Sometimes. It depends on your sector and cost structure. We calculate both options with your actual numbers and tell you which saves more money.
How often do I file VAT returns?
Usually quarterly, but annual accounting is available for smaller businesses. We advise on the best period for your cash flow.
