VAT

We were approached by a company that was significantly behind on its VAT returns, having not submitted a return for several years, resulting in 11 outstanding VAT returns and a large anticipated refund. The client had prepared paper records, and we assisted in digitising these to comply with Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements. We prepared and submitted all the outstanding returns and then persistently followed up with HMRC over several months. Eventually, HMRC initiated an enquiry into the VAT returns, which we promptly addressed without any corrections needed. As a result, the client received a refund of over £35,000.
