Our VAT Services

VAT Advisory

VAT is a transaction-based, self-assessed tax. Once a transaction has been completed, it’s difficult or costly to reverse mistakes. We provide proactive advice before transactions are finalised, helping you avoid issues and secure the most efficient VAT treatment.

VAT Compliance & Planning

We support you with VAT returns, transactional advice, VAT reviews, and liaison with HMRC. Our team also identifies VAT savings and manages HMRC queries or clearance requests.

Partial Exemption

We advise on designing and operating the most advantageous partial exemption method for businesses making both taxable and exempt supplies. We also conduct periodic reviews to ensure full recoverable VAT is being claimed.

VAT Second Opinions

Our specialists support law firms, accountants, and in-house finance teams with second opinions or independent advice. We complement your existing advisers with expert insight into complex VAT rules.

Private Schools

We offer outsourced VAT compliance for private schools and advise on improving recovery in this complex area of partial exemption.

Land & Property

We advise developers, housing associations, charities, and educational bodies on VAT treatment of land and property. Our input at the early planning stage often identifies valuable savings.

VAT Assessments & Penalties

We support businesses in negotiating with HMRC and challenging VAT assessments. We quantify errors and secure fair, efficient resolutions.

Civil & Criminal Investigations

We advise on high-profile and sensitive VAT, Excise, and Anti-Dumping Duty investigations. Our team includes past and present experts to the IMF, World Bank, and CIOT, with experience advising multinationals and SMEs alike.

EU VAT One Stop Shop (OSS/IOSS)

We register and manage VAT obligations for businesses selling goods and services across the EU using the One Stop Shop system—avoiding multiple national registrations.

International VAT Services

UK & EU VAT Recovery

We recover EU-incurred VAT via our local partners, ensuring compliance and maximising eligible reclaims.

UK VAT Agency

We register and act as UK VAT agents for non-resident businesses selling into the UK without a permanent establishment, including e-commerce sellers and B2B service providers.

EU VAT Coordination

We act as your single point of contact for VAT compliance across the EU. You receive a dedicated UK-based adviser who coordinates with our EU network to manage returns, recovery, and reporting obligations.

Additional VAT Support

Import VAT on Parcels (under £135)

We manage VAT registration and returns for distance sellers subject to the UK’s low-value goods rules, and support clients as they grow beyond registration thresholds.

EC Sales Lists & Intrastat

We prepare and submit EC Sales Lists and Intrastat returns, ensuring correct classification and accurate reporting for intra-EU trade.

UK EORI Registration

We handle UK EORI number applications, essential for businesses importing goods into the UK or EU.
