Is your VAT return on track?

Answer five quick questions about your VAT situation and get a personalised next step.

WHAT I DO

What I handle on your behalf

From VAT registration through to quarterly submissions, I manage the whole process so you do not have to think about it.

01

Quarterly VAT Return Preparation and Filing

I prepare your VAT return from your records, check the figures carefully, and file directly with HMRC through MTD-compatible software. Whether you are on standard VAT accounting, flat rate, or cash accounting, I will confirm which scheme fits your situation. You review and approve before anything is submitted.

MTD Compliant Filing
02

VAT Registration and Scheme Advice

If you have crossed the £90,000 registration threshold or are approaching it, I can handle your VAT registration with HMRC and advise on the right scheme for your type of business. Choosing the wrong scheme at the start can cost real money, so it is worth a short conversation before you commit. I work with sole traders, landlords, limited companies, and contractors across Scotland and the UK.

Threshold and Registration
03

VAT Record Review and Catch-Up

If your records are behind, disorganised, or you suspect a past return may have contained errors, I can review what is there and help you get things straight. I have worked through all kinds of record-keeping situations and I do not judge where things are starting from. The goal is to get your VAT position accurate and keep you on the right side of HMRC going forward.

WHY IT WORKS

Why clients come back every quarter

Three things that make working with me different from dealing with a large firm or doing it yourself.

You deal with me directly, every time

There are no juniors preparing your VAT return while I handle other clients. You work with me from the first call through to the filing confirmation. That means no miscommunications, no handoffs, and someone who actually knows your business by the second quarter.

Fixed price, confirmed before I start

You know the cost before any work begins. There are no hourly rates that creep up and no invoice arriving after the deadline has passed. That is how I have always worked, because I think it is the fair way to do business.

Same-day responses when it matters

If you have a question about your VAT return, I get back to you the same day. That matters more than people expect when a deadline is close or HMRC sends an unexpected letter. You will not be left waiting and wondering.

GETTING STARTED

How it works

Four steps from first contact to filed return, and most of the effort is on my side, not yours.

01

Book a free call

We have a short, no-obligation call so I can understand your business, your VAT situation, and what you need from me. I will confirm a fixed price on that call so there are no surprises.

02

Send me your records

Share your records in whatever format you have, a spreadsheet, bank statements, a software export, or something less organised than that. I will work with what you have got and let you know if I need anything else.

03

I prepare and check your return

I prepare the VAT return, check the figures, and flag anything worth discussing before submission. You get a clear summary so you know exactly what is being filed and why.

04

You approve, I file

Once you are happy, I file directly with HMRC through MTD-compliant software and send you confirmation. Deadline met, and one less thing on your plate.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions

That is more common than you might think, and it does not stop me from helping you. Send me whatever you have, bank statements, a rough spreadsheet, or a description of what is missing, and I will tell you honestly what I can work with. Getting the return filed accurately is the priority, not having perfect records from the start.
It is possible to correct errors on past returns, and HMRC has a formal process for doing exactly that. I can review what was filed and tell you honestly whether anything needs to be corrected. Coming forward voluntarily is always treated more favourably by HMRC than them finding it themselves.
No. Making Tax Digital for VAT has been mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses since April 2022, but that does not mean you need to sort the software yourself. I can advise on what you need and handle the filing on your behalf using MTD-compatible tools.
Book a call today and tell me when the deadline is. I will be straight with you about whether there is enough time to do it properly. If you can get me the records quickly, I have worked to tight timeframes before. Same-day responses are standard, so you will not be left waiting to find out where you stand.
