You’ll have to submit a VAT return if your annual turnover is more than the current VAT threshold. (Although, you may benefit from being VAT registered even if it isn’t, and we can advise you on this).
These returns typically have to be submitted to HMRC every quarter (monthly and annual returns are also available).
The information to be included in the VAT return is usually found within your books, for example goods sold, purchases made and the VAT paid / not paid on these. The return forms the basis on what you need to pay – or sometimes claim back – from HMRC.

We can take care of completing and filing your VAT returns, ensuring they are filled in correctly and submitting them on your behalf. If we’re helping you with your book-keeping, either by setting you up on Xero or doing your book-keeping tasks for you, we’ll already have all the information to hand to ensure you are VAT compliant.
