It is quite possible to inadvertently overpay or underpay your VAT liability. Penalties and charges apply for late VAT registration, late payment of VAT and under declaration of VAT, which can be as high as 100% of the tax lost.<\/p>\n<p>We can help you avoid such penalties by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bookkeeping and completing VAT returns using your records, or<\/li>\n<li>Completing VAT returns based on your bookkeeping and records, or<\/li>\n<li>Providing VAT training and ongoing support where necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We can assist with selecting accounting software, producing a valid VAT invoice, completing VAT Returns and HMRC enquiries.<\/li>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, if your turnover exceeds the VAT registration limit for a twelve month period, you must register for VAT. However, if your turnover is below the VAT registration limit, you could register voluntarily. Voluntary registration is not always desirable, but it could reduce your tax bill, and at no additional cost to your clients. We would be happy to discuss whether voluntary registration is right for your business.<\/p>\n<p>We can also advise on other aspects of VAT, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The benefit of government schemes for small businesses, such as the flat rate scheme, annual accounting and cash accounting.<\/li>\n<li>VAT on land transactions and the option to tax commercial premises.<\/li>\n<li>VAT on selling or winding up a business, on buying a business or franchise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Our Approch&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||29px||false|false&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;flip&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/pajaccountants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/kelly-sikkema-M98NRBuzbpc-unsplash.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;kelly-sikkema-M98NRBuzbpc-unsplash&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to discuss all your VAT needs.
