Professional VAT Services for UK Businesses From Chartered Accountants
Need help with VAT registration, returns, or compliance? Our chartered accountants take the complexity out of VAT so you can focus on your business. From first-time registration to ongoing filings, we handle it all.
Get VAT Right From the Start
VAT affects almost every UK business that sells goods or services. Once your taxable turnover crosses the registration threshold, you are required to charge VAT, file quarterly returns, and keep compliant digital records under Making Tax Digital. At ABM, our VAT services cover every stage of the process.
Whether you are registering for the first time, switching to a more suitable VAT scheme, or simply need reliable help filing returns each quarter, our chartered accountants make the process straightforward. We keep your records accurate, your returns on time, and your relationship with HMRC in good standing.

Our chartered accountants do more than just file your returns. We help you choose the right VAT scheme, reclaim input tax wherever possible, and keep your records audit-ready at all times. The result is less admin for you, better cash flow, and complete confidence at every filing date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the VAT questions we hear most often. Contact our team if you need more specific guidance.
When do I need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds 90,000 pounds in any rolling 12-month period. You can also register voluntarily below this threshold if it benefits your business financially.
How often do I need to file a VAT return?
Most businesses file VAT returns every quarter. Each return is due one calendar month and seven days after the quarter ends. Late submissions lead to penalty points and potential financial charges from HMRC.
What is Making Tax Digital for VAT?
Making Tax Digital requires all VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and submit returns using MTD-compatible software. It is now mandatory regardless of your turnover, and we help you stay fully compliant.
Can I reclaim VAT on business expenses?
Yes. If you are VAT registered, you can reclaim input VAT on qualifying business purchases and expenses. This includes equipment, professional fees, and other costs incurred wholly for business purposes.
Which VAT scheme is best for my business?
It depends on your turnover, costs, and business type. Options include the standard scheme, flat rate scheme, and cash accounting scheme. Our consultants assess your situation and recommend the most tax-efficient choice.
Can you help register a new business for VAT?
Absolutely. We manage the entire registration process with HMRC, advise on the best VAT scheme for your situation, and ensure your invoicing and digital records are set up correctly from the start.
