VAT Explained
Do I need to register for VAT?
If your business turnover in the last 12 months exceeds HMRC’s VAT threshold, you must register. Even if you’re below the threshold, it may still be beneficial — we’ll advise you on the best timing and scheme.
Can I reclaim VAT on business purchases?
Yes, VAT can usually be reclaimed on goods and services used for business. If there’s any personal use, only the business proportion can be reclaimed. We’ll make sure you claim correctly.
Can TJ Whiffen submit VAT returns for me?
Absolutely. We’ll prepare and submit your VAT returns, ensure compliance with MTD, and advise on reclaiming the right expenses — saving you time and reducing the risk of errors.
Making Tax Digital (MTD) Explained
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
MTD is HMRC’s system for filing VAT returns online using approved software. It ensures returns are accurate and reduces paperwork.
Do all VAT-registered businesses need MTD?
Yes. Since April 2022, all VAT-registered businesses — regardless of turnover — must use MTD-compatible software to submit VAT returns.
What do I need to use MTD?
You’ll need to keep your VAT records digitally and use HMRC-approved software. If you don’t have software, we can either provide it, or use bridging software to connect your spreadsheets to HMRC.
Don’t let VAT and MTD become a burden — let us take care of it for you.
