VAT services for limited companies

VAT Services for Limited Companies

VAT services for UK limited companies: registration, MTD VAT returns, scheme reviews, reconciliations, error corrections and HMRC correspondence from our Morden team.

Short answer

We register your company for VAT when needed, prepare and file Making Tax Digital VAT returns from reconciled bookkeeping, review the right VAT scheme, correct past errors and deal with HMRC queries. Returns are sent for your approval before filing, and deadlines are tracked for you.

What this means for your company

VAT errors usually start in bookkeeping: wrong codes, missing reverse charges, platform income recorded net or private costs claimed. Our VAT service checks the figures behind the return, not just the totals the software produces.

01

VAT registration and threshold monitoring

02

Quarterly MTD returns approved before filing

03

Scheme review: standard, cash, annual or Flat Rate

04

Reverse charge, imports and overseas sales

05

Error corrections and HMRC correspondence

What our VAT service includes

Each quarter we review bank reconciliations, VAT codes, reverse-charge purchases, imports using postponed VAT accounting, overseas sales and any unusual transactions. We prepare the return in your MTD-compatible software, send it for approval and submit it once approved.

Package scope and fees are agreed in writing. Where VAT returns are included in a monthly package, the package terms apply; complex partial exemption or specialist property VAT is quoted separately.

Registration and schemes

We monitor the rolling £90,000 threshold, register on time, advise on voluntary registration and pricing, and review cash accounting, annual accounting or Flat Rate Scheme suitability using your figures.

Corrections and HMRC

Errors at or below the reporting limit can usually be corrected on a later return; larger errors are notified separately. We prepare error corrections, respond to HMRC compliance checks and help with late-filing and late-payment penalties.

Deadlines

Most quarterly VAT returns and payments are due one calendar month and seven days after the period ends. We give you the VAT payable before the deadline and remind you of payment dates. Payment remains your company's responsibility.

What Our Clients Say

Rated 4.9 out of 5From 302 Google reviews
“I've been working with Accotax since January 2024, and their support has grown alongside my business needs. My personal allocated manager, Umer, provides tailored services for both of my companies, adapting as I expand and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always clear in their communication. Their help with accounts, VAT, payrolls, pensions and compliance gives me real confidence and peace of mind.”
Зайтуна «Анонимная татарка» Manning · Two limited companies, VAT, payroll & pensions
“We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.”
Mael Leboucher · Year end accounts & bookkeeping
“Accotax have been our accountants for many years now. We maintained them because of their professionalism. In the last couple of years I have been working with Imran, who has been very professional and helpful in guiding us through the whole process, explaining and clarifying every aspect of it. Very prompt in responding to questions and patient with us even when we seem to be slow.”
