VAT support

It's been around since 1973 - but still it causes problems!

VAT is a tax on consumption; i.e. the more you buy - the more tax you pay. It is also supposed to be a neutral tax on businesses, in that it should not represent a real cost to anyone but the end consumer. However VAT is one of the most complex and onerous tax regimes imposed on business - so complex that many businesses inadvertently overpay or underpay VAT.

The ever widening scope of VAT, the constant stream of detailed changes to the regulations, and the increasing demands of the revenue service call for a trained professional eye to ensure that you do not fall foul of the regulations and do not pay the Exchequer more than you need to!

  • Assistance with VAT registration
  • Advice on VAT planning and administration
  • Use of the most appropriate scheme
