What You Need to Know

VAT is one of the most error-prone areas of UK tax, and HMRC's VAT compliance teams are consistently active. The place of supply rules for cross-border services, partial exemption calculations for businesses with mixed taxable and exempt supplies, and the domestic reverse charge for construction and certain other sectors catch many businesses out. Getting the VAT registration threshold timing wrong can also lead to significant back-dated liabilities. We review your VAT position to ensure your recovery rate is maximised, your cross-border supplies are classified correctly, and your returns are defensible if HMRC enquires.
