Practical VAT advice, when you need it most

We understand that VAT is one of the most complex and risky aspects of UK tax. Whether you’re struggling with registration, facing a VAT enquiry, or need clarity on partial exemption rules, our expert team is here to help.

We offer proactive, practical advice that keeps you compliant and gives you peace of mind.

Complex VAT issues, made simple

From one-off guidance to full-scale representation, we tailor our support to fit your needs. Whether you’re looking to prevent issues before they arise or manage an ongoing dispute, our job is to protect your business and guide you through the maze of VAT legislation.

We can assist with:

• VAT liability reviews
• VAT registration and deregistration
• Handling HMRC VAT enquiries
• Representation at VAT Tribunal
• Due diligence for “Kittel” and “MTIC” risk areas
• Partial exemption and business/non-business apportionment
• VAT health checks to identify risk areas early

Real support, real results

We recently worked with a restaurant business that received a substantial VAT assessment. Through in-depth negotiations with HMRC, we were able to reduce the assessment by over 50%, and successfully had the associated penalties downgraded from ‘deliberate’ to ‘careless’. The outcome allowed the business to stay open and continue trading.

It’s results like these that show what the right advice, at the right time, can do.

A team that sees what HMRC will see

When we work with you, we take the time to understand how your business operates: what you sell, who you sell to, and how transactions are structured. From there, we focus on the areas most likely to attract HMRC’s attention and build a practical plan to protect your position.

Whether you’re dealing with a routine enquiry or a more complex VAT investigation, our priority is limiting stress, controlling risk, and securing the best possible outcome for you.
