VAT Preparation & Submission to HMRC
VAT deadline coming up? No need to panic, we’ve already got it covered. We deal with VAT preparation and HMRC VAT submission, so your data matches your books and the rules. Our team sets a schedule, confirms data sources, and checks invoices for rate, place of supply, and evidence. Partial exemption, reverse charge, imports, and land rules are reviewed before data is finalised. You receive a draft return, with a summary explaining changes in VAT data such as deviation in sales, purchases, input and output tax, or adjustments resulting from exemptions and imports, along with a filing confirmation once approved. If submission timelines are constrained, we prioritise handling the risks to meet VAT submission deadlines and avoid HMRC late VAT submission penalties.

FAQ Question
Frequently Asked Questions
For most businesses, the VAT submission deadline is one calendar month and seven days after the end of your VAT period. The payment normally falls on the same date, so you should allow time for funds to reach HMRC.
We’ll ask for sales and purchase listings, VAT codes used, bank reconciliations, and copies of high-value invoices. If you import goods, we’ll also need your monthly postponed import VAT (PIVA) statements from CDS, as these support the figures on your return.
Imports using Postponed Import VAT Accounting are included using your PIVA statements and must match your customs entries. Exports are checked for proof of movement and the correct rate; sector rules such as the domestic reverse charge in construction are applied where required.
HMRC runs a penalty-points system for late returns. Repeated misses can trigger a fixed financial penalty and interest, so acting quickly to file and pay is essential.
