 I am in the early stages of starting my business and Paula has been a huge help to me. She always takes the time to answer my questions and explains things clearly. Paula takes a genuine interest in my business and its growth which I know I wouldn’t get elsewhere. I would highly recommend Paula to anyone who needs accounting assistance.

  • We make sure you understand exactly how VAT applies to the specific goods and services you buy and sell, and how registering for VAT will impact your pricing and profitability.
  • We’ll talk you through your obligations in terms of filing VAT returns and issuing valid VAT invoices.
  • If you work with EU suppliers, we’ll make sure you are setup for Intra-EU VAT so the suppliers can remove the foreign EU VAT on the items you buy from them.
  • If you sell to EU countries we’ll ensure you know when you might have additional obligations such as VIES & OSS returns.
  • Most importantly, when filing your VAT return, we’ll make sure we claim as much VAT back as you’re entitled to (we work with a lot of online businesses, so if we spot a subscription that we know you can obtain a VAT receipt for, we’ll let you know!)

Contact us to learn more and get started with VAT registration.

You may not have reached out to an accountant yet if you’re a brand new business, or you may have been managing your accounts and taxes on your own to date but need assistance now that you’re in the realm of VAT.

When you need to register for VAT, we don’t just tick a box with Revenue and leave you to it.
