VAT Planning

When VAT was introduced in the UK on 1 April 1973, it was described as a "simple tax". It would be easy to understand, and easy to administer... Nothing could be further from the truth! Since its introduction VAT has evolved into a complex tax that you ignore at your peril.

It is vital that businesses take specialist VAT advice in order that they can take steps to ensure that their affairs generally, and in particular transactions are organised in the most efficient way.

Failure to take specialist advice will most likely lead to businesses paying more VAT than they need to, and also potentially incur heavy financial penalties and interest charges.

At Barber Harrison & Platt we offer VAT advice on any and every topic, no matter how simple or complex, including:

  • Property transactions
  • Charities and not-for-profit organisations
  • EU and International trade issues
  • VAT registration/deregistration
  • VAT returns
  • Partial exemption
  • Reviewing VAT assessments/rulings
  • VAT planning

We have great knowledge of VAT which is based on the experience gained by our VAT specialists both within Customs and Excise and professional practice. Our aim is to give you the best possible advice, so that you only pay the VAT you are legally required to pay, and that you obtain all the reliefs to which you are entitled.
