Frequently Asked Questions
What can you do for my business?
A specialist VAT accountant will minimise your tax liabilities, identify potential risk areas, manage your relationship with HMRC, and ensure full compliance with indirect tax law at all times. Even minor mistakes in your VAT returns may be judged as fraud in the eyes of HMRC, so it’s essential to engage the services of an experienced professional that you can rely on.
Who will handle my enquiry?
Every business is different so we will match the complexity of your requirements to the right person in our VAT department. We are a close-knit team, all of whom have substantial experience in managing VAT, along with particular accounting specialities and industry expertise.
Can we arrange a remote consultation or do we have to meet in person?
We are more than happy to arrange an initial consultation remotely – by phone, video call, email, or whichever method you prefer. Of course, if you would prefer to meet face-to-face, you are welcome to attend our offices in the City of London.
How are your prices structured?
We offer complete transparency over our approach to pricing and normally charge per hour based on each consultant’s charge-out rate. However, we can also offer fixed fees when required and often quote for standalone projects too.
