Problems that our VAT specialists can help you with

VAT Penalties

Our VAT specialists provide VAT consultancy advice that can lead to the withdrawal of a VAT penalty. In some cases, it might be possible to have a VAT penalty reduced or suspended.

VAT Assessments, Disputes & Appeals

Unfortunately, businesses can find themselves in a position of conflict with HMRC. Such difficulties are increased by the potential of a VAT penalty in almost any given situation. Our team of VAT specialists area ideally placed to offer you VAT advice with a view to attempting to successfully reduce the amount of tax or penalty that may initially be sought by HMRC.

VAT partial exemption

VAT registered entities that make both taxable and VAT exempt supplies are referred to as being “partly exempt” for VAT purposes which could mean that they can only reclaim a proportion of the VAT that they incur on expenditure ie the input tax you can recover. An entity that makes VAT exempt supplies should consider which VAT partial exemption method is most appropriate. Our VAT specialists have vast experience in assisting entities that are partially exempt.

VAT Land and Property

The VAT legislation for land and buildings is particularly complex and has been for a long time, and is likely to continue to be, subject to change. By keeping up to date with any changes our VAT specialists are always able to give informed advice to our clients. Contact a property VAT specialist on 0161 883 2120.

VAT Advice for Charities and Not-for-Profit

Our VAT specialists provide VAT advice to not-for-profit and charity clients over a wide range of activities and help solve VAT queries or problems on their behalf. For example, the issues may be the VAT liability of various supplies or the best partial exemption method to apply.
