VAT
VAT is one of the most challenging and fast-moving areas of tax for businesses. With constantly evolving rules, sector-specific pitfalls and increasing scrutiny from HMRC, getting VAT right is essential. We provide clear, commercial advice to help you stay compliant, reduce risk and optimise VAT efficiency across your operations.
Our support covers the full range of compliance requirements, from UK VAT registration (compulsory, voluntary and group) and ongoing return preparation through to compliance health checks that identify risks before HMRC does. We also advise on the correct VAT liability on goods and services, optimal VAT structuring and how to maximise recovery in partially exempt or complex organisations.
VAT on land and property transactions is notoriously complex. We provide guidance on option to tax decisions and notifications, the treatment of leases, development projects and sales, Capital Goods Scheme considerations, and how to avoid unexpected VAT costs in commercial property transactions.
For businesses operating internationally, we advise on cross-border goods and services, EU and non-EU VAT registration, place of supply analysis, supply chain reviews and the practical implications of import VAT, customs duties and postponed VAT accounting.
