What is VAT?
Value-added tax is a consumption tax applied to goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. Navigating the various VAT schemes requires a keen understanding of your business model, ensuring compliance while maximising financial efficiency.
The types of VAT schemes:
Standard VAT scheme
Ideal for businesses with a turnover exceeding the VAT threshold, the Standard VAT Scheme involves quarterly returns. Our experts analyse your business operations to determine if this scheme aligns with your financial goals.
Flat rate scheme
Designed for small businesses, the Flat Rate Scheme simplifies VAT calculations. We evaluate your eligibility and guide you through the potential benefits of this streamlined approach.
Annual accounting scheme
For businesses with a turnover below a certain threshold, the Annual Accounting Scheme offers simplified VAT reporting. Our team assesses whether this scheme aligns with your financial strategy and long-term goals.
Cash accounting scheme
Cash flow is crucial for small businesses. The Cash Accounting Scheme allows you to account for VAT when payments are received, enhancing cash flow management. We assess the viability of this scheme based on your business dynamics.
