VAT Returns & Compliance
Helping Chester’s SMEs meet VAT obligations
At Penny Lane Accountants in Chester we know that Value Added Tax (VAT) can be a minefield for small and medium‑sized businesses. Our team handles all aspects of VAT so you can focus on running your business. Whether you are just starting out or have been trading for years, we help you meet your VAT liabilities and free up your time to concentrate on day‑to‑day operations.
Our VAT return solution
If you are unsure whether to register for VAT, we can advise you from the outset. We will assess your circumstances and, when appropriate, register your business with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). As your business evolves we keep an eye on your turnover and will let you know when it is mandatory or beneficial to register or when it may be advantageous to deregister. We take care of the registration or deregistration process on your behalf so that you don’t have to navigate the paperwork.
Why choose our VAT return service?
Our comprehensive VAT return service gives you everything you need to stay compliant:
VAT schemes – We review the different VAT schemes available and recommend the most suitable option or combination of schemes. Choosing the right scheme can save you tax and reduce bookkeeping work.
VAT savings – We ensure that your VAT claim is accurate, helping you reclaim as much input VAT as you are entitled to while paying only the VAT that is due.
VAT agent – As your authorised agent we deal directly with HMRC, handle correspondence and submit returns on your behalf.
Meeting HMRC deadlines – We prepare and submit your VAT returns on time and advise you in plenty of time of any amounts payable.
Peace of mind – Late registration, errors in returns or payments, and missed deadlines can lead to penalties and interest. Our experienced team manages the entire process, giving you confidence that everything is taken care of.
Competitive pricing & flexible services – Our fees are fixed and tailored to the level of support you require, so there are no hidden costs.
