TAKING CARE OF
Your VAT preparation and submission
Value Added Tax (VAT) is complex and can be onerous. It is a tax on transactions, and it impacts businesses daily, causing many to inadvertently over or under pay VAT.
It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to register for VAT and ensure they are accounting for the VAT at the right time. Compliance with the ever-changing VAT regulations is vital for all businesses. The legislation makes little allowance for incorrect submissions of VAT returns and failure to do so can result in interest and penalties.
Being registered for VAT and correctly submitting VAT returns on a timely basis is required by law and is an administrative burden. We can help reduce the hassle, complications and risk associated with your VAT return process. We can advise you when to register for VAT and can determine if voluntary registration will save you money or provide other benefits to enhance the long-term growth of your business.
