VAT & payroll

VAT and payroll are recurring responsibilities that need careful attention. We help you manage the work, keep track of deadlines and deal with questions as they arise.

We can support either function or both, working with your existing records and the people responsible for providing information.

VAT

We prepare and submit VAT returns and help you understand the treatment of your business transactions.

Our support can include:

• VAT registration.
• Preparing and reviewing VAT returns.
• Advice on VAT schemes and record-keeping.
• Reviewing queries or unusual transactions.
• Supporting compatible accounting software.
• Correspondence with HMRC.

As your business develops, we can also review whether your VAT arrangements remain appropriate.

Payroll

We provide regular payroll support, with an agreed timetable for receiving information, preparing calculations and obtaining your approval.

Our work can include:

• Payroll calculations and payslips.
• Payroll submissions to HMRC.
• Processing starters, leavers and changes in pay.
• Pension assessment and contribution reporting.
• Year-end reporting and P60s.

An agreed routine

We confirm what information we need, who will provide it and the relevant cut-off dates.

For payroll, this gives you time to review the figures before paying employees. For VAT, it allows us to work through the records and resolve queries ahead of submission.

Can our team continue to maintain the records?

Yes. We can work alongside your team, with a clear agreement on the preparation, review and filing responsibilities.

Can you take over an existing arrangement?

We review the current position, identify the records and authorisations required and agree a suitable handover date.
