VAT

VAT is an ever changing tax and is not getting any easier, despite its introduction as "a simple tax". It is important that all businesses adhere to the VAT regulations to avoid VAT assessments, interest and penalties and the costs associated with any disagreements with Customs. It is also important that VAT Returns become a routine accounting function so that the business can get on with its core activities to make money.

VAT should be considered in all new start up situations, in the sale of all or part of a business, corporate finance transactions, and in fact any major transactions. Problems often occur because VAT was not considered especially in relation to property transactions, international supplies of goods and services, and partial exemption where the implications are often not considered before implementation.

There are few businesses that are not affected by VAT in any way and our aim is to ensure that VAT is only paid where it should and that it is paid at the right time. VAT recovery is equally important to ensure that the maximum available is recovered and at the earliest possible time.

Payroll Services
The burdens on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have increased over the years, and compliance with numerous PAYE regulations adds to these. Businesses, unless they are geared to dealing with changing legislation, face new penalties. Employers may save time by computerising the payroll function, but this still means that within the organisation someone must be familiar not only with the inevitable changes to legislation, but also with the operation of the payroll program.

Save time
The payroll function is one that can be easily separated from your other accounting activities and it can be operated for you by a specialist bureau quickly and efficiently. We can deal with any pay-related queries you may have, and are happy to liase with the DSS and Inland Revenue on your behalf. You can save valuable time by passing your payroll work to the experts, enabling you and your staff to concentrate on other crucial aspects of running your business.

Ease of use
We accept payroll information typed, handwritten, by fax, post or instructions by telephone. Completed payroll data can be sent by fax or post, and detailed monthly printouts are provided, and full end of year returns such as P35 and P60.
