Spinning VAT into Gold – With a Little Help from Your Favourite Birmingham Accountants

What is VAT, Anyway?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is the government’s way of saying, “Let’s share a slice of your pie.” Applied at each stage of the supply chain, VAT is the extra bit you pay when buying or selling goods and services. The standard VAT rate is currently a hearty 20%, with reduced rates of 5% for some essentials (because even HMRC has a heart). There’s also a zero rate for the really essential essentials.

Who Needs to Register for VAT?

Our specialist tax accountants have got your back when it comes to VAT advice—because who needs a tax-induced headache? If you’re a doctor with a dose of tax troubles, a dentist drilling through financials, or a pharmacist with prescription receipts piling up, you’ll want to keep an eye on VAT regulations.

Landlords, whether UK-based or abroad, contractors in tech or cyber, and those running small to medium-sized businesses—yes, we’re looking at you! Even if you’re just starting out and need an accountant to hold your hand through the VAT maze, we’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re a sole trader, a limited company, or a landlord, if your taxable turnover tops £85,000 in a 12-month rolling period (£90,000 from 1st April 2024), you must register for VAT. So, why let VAT be a villain when MyTaxDoc can turn it into a victory?
