At Raw, we'll act as your personal VAT accounting team. Our qualified VAT accountants will prepare and submit your VAT returns and reports on your behalf, all year round.
Businesses must submit VAT (value added tax) returns to HMRC on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. The return summarises all of the revenue and expenditure VAT collected throughout the period, and includes details on how your company charged and reclaimed VAT during that time. If the charged amount is greater than the VAT spent during that period, you’ll pay the difference to HMRC, but if that VAT incurred is greater, HMRC will refund your business the difference.
However, calculating VAT, knowing how and what to claim VAT on, knowing when to pay VAT and even knowing how much exactly to pay can all quickly become complicated for business owners. What’s more, legitimate schemes run by HMRC can even save VAT registered businesses money. That’s why at RAW, we offer VAT accounting services that make the VAT process simple. Whether it’s paying VAT, or registering for a VAT scheme: We’re on hand to help.

How we help with your VAT Returns
For most small businesses, VAT returns are a quarterly compliance requirement. If you exceed the £85,000 VAT registration threshold, which the majority of our small business clients do, it is mandatory for you to register for VAT. If your sales do exceed this amount and you aren’t registered for VAT it’s critical that you contact us as soon as possible.
These days, preparing and filing quarterly VAT returns is a straightforward extension of the bookkeeping process, which is why all of our services include the preparation and review of your VAT return.
We’ll run a detailed check of your VAT return, and even ask you for approval before submitting it to HMRC. Once approved, we’ll submit the VAT return with HMRC on your behalf as your agent. If you make manual payments, we’ll notify you of any VAT payment required. Plus, we’ll use our tax efficiency service to show you where you might be able to save money with your tax returns moving forward.
