VAT return questions
Can you help if my VAT records are incomplete?
Yes. We first identify what is available, what is missing and which items need evidence. We then agree whether the records can be completed for filing or whether a clean-up step is needed first.
Do you only file the return, or can you help with bookkeeping too?
Both options are available. Some clients bring reconciled records for filing; others need ongoing bookkeeping and VAT support. We define the scope before work starts so responsibilities are clear.
Can you review a VAT issue before I switch accountants?
Yes. We can review the issue and the records first. If a wider handover is appropriate, we explain what access and historical information will be needed before you decide.
