Why VAT Returns Matter and How We Can Help

VAT returns are crucial for all VAT-registered businesses in the UK, requiring accurate calculation and timely submission to HMRC.

VAT involves collecting and reporting tax on sales and reclaiming VAT on eligible purchases. This process may seem straightforward, but with the complexities of tax codes, changing VAT rates, and specific exemptions, businesses can often face challenges. Accountants play a key role in ensuring that VAT returns are not only accurate but also optimized for potential reclaimable amounts, reducing a businesss tax burden.

Our role at MG Walker & Co is to manage every aspect of VAT returns on your behalf. This includes ensuring proper record-keeping, calculating the exact amounts payable or reclaimable, and submitting returns within HMRC deadlines. With our expertise, businesses can rest assured that their VAT obligations are handled correctly, minimizing the risk of penalties and missed opportunities for VAT recovery.

Navigating CIS Returns with Confidence

The CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) is a complex system that mandates specific tax responsibilities for contractors and subcontractors in the construction sector.

Under CIS, contractors are required to deduct tax at source from payments to subcontractors and submit monthly returns to HMRC. Managing CIS can be challenging for construction firms, especially when it comes to keeping accurate records of deductions, payments, and filing obligations. Accountants provide the expertise needed to ensure that CIS deductions are calculated correctly and reported accurately.

At MG Walker & Co, we support businesses with comprehensive CIS return services. We help contractors determine accurate deductions, maintain proper records, and manage the timely submission of returns to HMRC. By entrusting CIS compliance to an experienced accounting firm, construction businesses can avoid penalties, enhance cash flow management, and ensure a smoother payroll process for subcontractors.
