VAT Services & VAT Advice
Compliance with VAT is complex. Investigations by the VAT man can be intense – all the more important that your VAT returns are completed correctly. Our dedicated team provide a full range of VAT services and are happy to offer VAT advice if you have any questions.
Seagrave French offers three ways of VAT services to help businesses manage their VAT returns: 1) We do your book-keeping and will complete your return, 2) Give us your books and we’ll do the return for you, or 3) We’ll provide training on how to complete your return.
We complete VAT returns in good time to ensure any possible penalties are avoided.
Additionally, we can assist with applying for VAT registration, advice on VAT schemes applicable to your business, VAT planning, dealing with any disputes that may arise with Customs and can attend at VAT inspections with you.
Our VAT services offer new and existing clients a ‘VAT Health Check’ which is designed to find any VAT issues before the VATman does. We will review and sample check your accounting records, sample test the most common errors VAT inspectors look for, analyse your completed VAT returns, compare your VAT returns against annual accounts, check the VAT treatment of sales and determine whether you’re making the best use of relevant VAT schemes.
VAT compliance is becoming ever more complex and investigations by the VATman can be intense. The best thing any business can do is get the support of an experienced accountant who is experienced and successful in working with the VAT people.

What Are the Benefits of Being VAT Registered?
VAT-registered companies are able to reap quite a few benefits. While they may fall under the threshold, they still get to take part in the gains associated with registration.
You get a VAT registration number
This may not seem too exciting, but your business can benefit from displaying your VAT registration number on all your documents, website, and stationery. This can add credibility to your business and give you a more trustworthy and professional image.
You can claim VAT refunds
Once registered, you can reclaim for VAT on all goods and services your business buys. This must be balanced with what your business is charging and receiving in VAT payments over the year. If you have invested in equipment, plant, machinery or IT, you may be able to reclaim a large amount of VAT.
When it is time to submit your VAT return, you may find that the HMRC sends you some money for a change!
You can reclaim VAT from the past
By registering for VAT, you may be eligible to claim for VAT from the past 4 years for items that you are still using. This would require you being in business for this length of time and having kept VAT invoices and records for the period.
You can improve your business image
If you are a new small business, another benefit to being VAT registered is that most people are aware of the VAT threshold. You then appear to your potential customers that you are bigger than you actually are by displaying your VAT number.
This may also help you when it comes to dealing with other businesses. Some businesses prefer it if you can raise a valid VAT invoice.
