VAT Disputes
How we can help with VAT disputes and planning
Compliance with VAT is becoming an increasingly complex area of tax law. HMRC has heightened the intensity of their VAT investigations in recent years, making it essential to have a dedicated VAT accountant or VAT specialists skilled in successful negotiations with them.
Our dedicated VAT team offers expert guidance to ensure your business meets all its VAT obligations and stays compliant with the latest VAT regulations. We provide specialist VAT advice tailored to your unique circumstances, helping you avoid costly mistakes and manage VAT disputes effectively.
We take full advantage of all available reliefs and the correct interpretation of VAT law, which is a crucial aspect of our VAT consultancy service. This approach provides peace of mind for all our clients, knowing their VAT affairs are in safe hands.
We can assist your business with VAT in the following ways:
-
Applying for VAT registration, including advising when to voluntarily register.
-
Offering practical VAT advice on the most suitable VAT schemes for your business, such as the flat rate scheme.
-
Completing VAT returns accurately, either from your records or by managing the bookkeeping for you, ensuring full VAT compliance and minimising errors.
-
Preparing you for HMRC VAT inspections and control visits, which commonly occur within the first few years of trading and periodically thereafter.
-
Providing tailored VAT planning to optimise your VAT liability and reclaim VAT where possible.
-
Handling VAT disputes and representation at VAT tribunals, including managing VAT investigations and resolving VAT related enquiries.
-
Offering customs advice and support with customs duty matters related to your business operations.

“Jason and the Team have been excellent in providing support to me over the last 12 months in particular. My husband passed away suddenly and Jason helped me complete his final accounts and tax return and provided advice in the process. Smith Butler looked after Garrys business affairs only for 3 years but they have always been helpful and I would recommend their services to others. I would have no hesitation in using Smith Butler for other financial matters. ”
