VAT & MTD FAQs

When must I register for VAT?
You must register when your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (currently £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period) or if you expect to exceed it in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration can be beneficial in some cases.
Which VAT scheme should I choose?
Standard suits most; Cash Accounting helps cash flow by paying VAT on receipts; Flat Rate simplifies returns but restricts input VAT recovery. We’ll model the best option for your business.
Do I need MTD software if I use spreadsheets?
Yes—MTD requires digital records and digital links. We can file via bridging so you keep your spreadsheets while staying compliant.
How does postponed import VAT (PVA) work?
PVA lets you account for import VAT on your VAT return instead of paying at the border. We reconcile your monthly statements to ensure the entries are correct.
Can you handle e-commerce VAT?
Yes—Shopify, Amazon, eBay and WooCommerce mapping, marketplace VAT treatment, and import/export considerations.
