Business
VAT is an extremely complex tax – the rules constantly change and discrepancies can cost your business thousands of pounds in additional duty. Our ReSource VAT Consultants have:
- Generated ££££s of VAT repayments for UK businesses
- Conducted VAT ‘Health Checks’ to review business activity and ensure the correct VAT procedures are in place
- Beaten HMRC at high level VAT Disputes saving our clients thousands of pounds of VAT Duty
Our expert VAT Consultants will ensure that your business not only pays the correct rate of VAT but that you benefit from all the VAT savings you can. Many businesses don’t realise that the right support and advice can mean you can structure your business and tax affairs to ensure you maximise the tax savings available.
All of our VAT Consultants are ex-HMRC VAT Inspectors so understand not only best VAT practice but also how to negotiate with HMRC.
We don’t handle general accountancy work, but instead focus on providing you with specific support in the areas that you need it most. Most importantly we work in conjunction with your accountancy firm to help implement our recommendations.
How we can help:
VAT Heath Checks – this service reviews your VAT procedures, identifies under/over payments and can reduce future penalties. Every Health Check we have ever conducted has identified discrepancies so we recommend every business benefits from this service.
VAT Investigations – during these investigations and disputes, expert representation is vital and our ex-HMRC VAT Inspectors know all the tricks of the trade. We have significant experience of negotiating with HMRC to reduce VAT liability and, in many cases, have proved that the investigation was unnecessary as no discrepancies were found.
VAT Tribunal Representation – if your investigation has reached a Tribunal Hearing, significant representation is required to present your case to HMRC. We have handled thousands of Tribunal cases and have an excellent success rate.
VAT Advice and Consultancy – for general VAT queries, you can subscribe to our telephone advice line or utilise our Consultants on a bespoke basis.
