How Does Our VAT Returns Service Work?
Our streamlined 4-step process takes the stress out of VAT compliance.

📝Pre-Submission Preparation
✅ Data Reconciliation: Verify all sales/purchase records match accounting software and bank statements.
✅ VAT Scheme Review: Confirm correct rates (Standard, Flat Rate, etc.) and apply scheme-specific rules.
✅ Input VAT Check: Validate reclaimable VAT on business expenses (ensure valid VAT invoices).
✅ Document Assembly: Gather digital records (MTD-compliant software exports, EC Sales lists if applicable).

🏢HMRC Submission Process
📊 MTD-Compliant Filing: Submit via HMRC-approved software (XML/API integration).
📊 EC Sales & Intrastat: Include EU sales data if thresholds are met.
📊 Payment Calculation: Review VAT due/refundable (apply deadlines to avoid penalties).
📊 Confirmation Receipt: Save submission acknowledgment (HMRC reference number).

🤝Post-Submission Compliance
🔍 Payment Scheduling: Set reminders for payment deadlines (or refund tracking).
🔍 Error Correction: Use VAT652 form for amendments within 4 years.
🔍 Digital Record Audit: Archive submissions for 6+ years (HMRC inspection-ready).
🔍 Next Return Prep: Note future deadlines (quarterly/annual based on scheme).

🏠Ongoing VAT Management
📊 Cash Flow Forecasting: Project VAT liabilities/refunds in future quarters.
📊 Partial Exemption Tracking: Monitor non-reclaimable VAT if applicable.
📊 Software Updates: Ensure MTD tools align with HMRC’s changing requirements.
📊 Penalty Avoidance: Track late submission/payment thresholds (surcharge notices).
