Transaction advice

Our specialists advise on any recurring or one-off transactions, taking time to understand all the relevant facts and contractual terms. If the law or guidance is unclear, we will help you mitigate the VAT risk where possible.

VAT business processes and systems implementation

Compliance with VAT regulations relies on effective recording and reporting processes. Both businesses and tax authorities increasingly place reliance on new technology for compliance. It is important to appreciate the impact these processes and systems can have on VAT compliance. Our team can advise on the VAT configuration of new processes and business systems to deliver process improvement and compliant solutions.

VAT group reviews

UK groups may opt to become a single taxable person by forming a VAT group to take advantage of a number of benefits, including simplification of VAT compliance. VAT grouping can be an important aspect of the VAT compliance process but its advantages and potential disadvantages need to be considered carefully. Changes to membership should be kept under review and may need to be notified to HMRC. Our team can advise on the implications of forming a VAT group, including the complex issues which can arise when considering international groups.
