Frequently Asked Questions
QHow often do I need to submit a VAT return?
Most VAT-registered businesses file quarterly, though some are on monthly or annual schemes depending on turnover and the scheme they're registered under.
QAt what turnover do I need to register for VAT?
You must register once your taxable turnover passes £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period, though you can register voluntarily below that threshold.
QDo I need Making Tax Digital software if I run a small business?
Yes MTD applies to all VAT-registered businesses, regardless of size, so digital record-keeping and MTD-compatible software are required by law.
QCan you take over my bookkeeping if it's fallen behind?
Yes catching up overdue bookkeeping is one of the most common requests we handle, and we can bring records up to date before your next filing deadline.
QDo I have to use Xero or QuickBooks, or can you work with what I already use?
We work with most major cloud platforms and can usually fit around what you're already using rather than requiring a switch.
QIs bookkeeping different from accounting?
Yes bookkeeping is the ongoing recording of transactions, while accounting covers the reporting, analysis and tax submissions built on top of those records.
