VAT (Value Added Tax) is a tax charged on most goods and services in the UK. You must register for VAT if your business turnover exceeds the current threshold of £85,000. However, voluntary registration may also be beneficial in some cases.

At Oxbridge Accountants, we assess your business and advise whether VAT registration is mandatory or strategically beneficial.

You must register for VAT within 30 days of exceeding the threshold or if you expect to exceed it in the near future. Late registration can lead to penalties and backdated VAT payments.

We ensure your VAT registration is completed accurately and on time, avoiding costly mistakes.

Most businesses submit VAT returns quarterly, but some may file monthly or annually depending on their VAT scheme.

Our team ensures your VAT returns are prepared and submitted on time, helping you avoid late filing penalties.

Late VAT returns can result in:

• Financial penalties

• Interest charges

• Increased HMRC scrutiny

Oxbridge Accountants ensures all your VAT deadlines are met, giving you peace of mind and full compliance.
