VAT
Support designed around your business
From compliance to strategy, we provide practical financial support that helps business owners stay in control and grow with confidence.
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax that must be paid when purchasing services or goods.
At ClearSight we can help you through the whole VAT process, including:
- Preparation and submission of your VAT returns
- VAT registration
- Guidance and advice on VAT rates changes
All businesses that have a turnover of more than £90,000 must pay and add VAT to all the products and services that they buy and sell. We can help ensure you pay this to the HMRC on-time with your quarterly return.
Our tax services make sure that your tax liability is calculated taking into account all allowed exemptions and deductions. We simplify the process by using accountancy software to accurately complete tax returns and calculate any tax liability that may occur, along with any payments that need to be made.
Corporation tax reliefs and rates change annually, so we ensure that we can provide all the right guidance and advice when looking at exemptions, allowances and deductions that may be available.
We will thoroughly review and prepare corporation tax returns in great detail in order to ensure you are complaint and that you don’t incur any penalties.
You may be looking at investments, a second property or another asset and our team can make sure you maximise your exemptions while simplifying the difficult area of capital gains tax.
We can help with the complex issue of personal tax, we know it can be difficult to understand, which is why we help every step of the way. We take away the time and stress by creating a tax planning strategy that suits your tax affairs, helping ensure you pay the least amount of tax. Our team will advise when payments are due along with what forms need to be filed and returned to keep you compliant.
