Questions

Frequently asked questions

When do I have to register for VAT?+
You must register if your VAT-taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period, or if you expect to exceed it within the next 30 days. You can also register voluntarily below that level.
What is the VAT registration threshold for 2026/27?+
£90,000 of taxable turnover. The deregistration threshold is £88,000. These figures have applied since April 2024.
What is the VAT Flat Rate Scheme?+
A simplified scheme where you pay HMRC a fixed percentage of your gross turnover instead of accounting for VAT on every sale and purchase. It suits some small businesses with few costs — we’ll calculate whether it saves you money.
Is Making Tax Digital for VAT mandatory?+
Yes. All VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and file VAT returns using MTD-compatible software. We set this up and file for you.
Can you deal with an HMRC VAT inspection?+
Yes. We handle VAT enquiries and inspections on your behalf, prepare the information HMRC needs, and represent your position.
