Still Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

What is a VAT return and how often do I need to file one?

A VAT return is a report you submit to HMRC detailing the VAT you’ve charged customers and the VAT you’ve paid on business purchases. Most businesses file quarterly, but the schedule can vary.

Can Black Bear Accounting help me with VAT returns?

Absolutely we can….. VAT accountants ensure your returns are accurate, submitted on time, and help you claim any eligible VAT refunds or reliefs, so you stay compliant and avoid penalties.

What records do I need to keep for VAT returns?

You should keep all sales and purchase invoices, receipts, and records of VAT charged and paid for at least six years. We can help you organise these.

What happens if I miss a VAT return deadline?

Missing deadlines can result in penalties and interest. As VAT experts we can help you avoid this by managing submissions or advising you on next steps if you have missed a deadline.

How do I know if I need to register for VAT?

If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, you must register for VAT. As VAT experts we can advise you when and how to register.

Can Black Bear Accounting help with VAT schemes?

Yes! We can advise on the best VAT Schemes for your business, such as the Flat Rate Scheme, Annual Accounting Scheme or Cash Accounting Scheme to optimise your VAT position.
