VAT Return Services

 

The VAT is a consumption tax that is placed on a product when the value is added; at a stage of production or point of sale. Vat tax calculation is the responsibility of the taxpayer; he must ensure that the right tax is paid at the right time. If an unpaid VAT error is identified during an inspection by the HMRC, it can raise an assessment that can go back four years (or more) with interest and penalties.

 

Filing monthly VAT returns can be challenging for VAT registered businesses as you need to demonstrate the entire value of goods that have been despatched to any EU country and the total amount of arrivals that have been received in their VAT return. However, an expert VAT accountant from William Klien. can guide you through the entire process quickly.

 

VAT Rates

 

Different VAT rates are depending upon the type of transaction, such as:

 

Standard at 20%

Reduced at 5%

Zero

Exempt

 

Most businesses are VAT registered, so they are required to submit a VAT return to the HMRC every three months; this represents a significant administrative burden on small businesses. If your company turnover is less than £150,000 a year, then the Flat Rate Scheme is the best option for you.

 

Small businesses can take advantage of the Flat Rate Scheme by paying a fixed rate of the gross turnover to figure out how much VAT must be paid to HMRC every quarter. If your business uses this scheme, you will still charge VAT as normal and issue VAT receipts to your customers as usual. However, your quarterly VAT return should become a more straightforward process as you will only be required to calculate your total sales and apply a flat rate of VAT.
