VAT Scheme Review
Many people do not realise that there are several different VAT accounting schemes offered by HMRC. Most people are on the default accrual scheme, but this is not always the most tax efficient option depending on the business. AH Accountants carry out a scheme review each quarter to ensure that your business is on the most tax efficient scheme. This service regularly saves our customers thousands of pounds, and we are very proud of being able to offer this proactive service where our competitors do not.
Transaction Examination
This is where we go through each of the business’s transactions, to ensure that everything is correctly categorised. This means that not only can your business save money on items that have been categorised incorrectly, but it doesn’t leave your business exposed to HMRC investigations.
