Registering at the right time has the potential to save your businesses thousands! SeavorChartered can advise on VAT Registration and when and if it is right for your business.
Once registered for VAT you want to minimise your VAT liability, we advise all businesses who work with us on HM Revenue & Customs VAT schemes and whether they are right for their business. Including:
VAT Flat Rate Scheme
The VAT Flat Rate Scheme (VAT FRS) is available to small businesses. The VAT FRS not only can make it easier for small businesses to calculate their VAT liability it can also produce a VAT saving. We review whether the VAT FRS is beneficial for all our small business clients.
VAT Cash Accounting
The VAT Cash Accounting scheme allows a business to pay VAT when it has received payment and recover VAT when they have made payments to their suppliers. Using the cash accounting scheme can result in a cash advantage for your business and we can discuss the potential benefits of the scheme with you.
VAT Annual Accounting
Do you like to spread the cost of your bills rather than pay in one lump sum? Do you also like to know when and what you are paying? If so the VAT Annual Accounting scheme may be for you. Using this scheme you pay the VAT owed throughout the year in nine equal instalments based on last years VAT liability and are only required to submit one annual return cutting down on the admin.
VAT Standard Accounting
The VAT standard accounting may be right for your business. Under the standard VAT accounting scheme, you pay and recover VAT based on when you raise and receive invoices. Giving careful consideration to the standard VAT accounting scheme your business can benefit from. SeavorChartered advises all our clients on whether standard VAT accounting is right for their business.
