Who needs to submit a VAT return?
You must register for VAT – and submit a return – if your business has, in any 12 month period, a taxable turnover of £85,000 or more. This applies whether you’re a sole trader, partnership or limited company.
It is also now compulsory for all VAT-registered businesses to submit their returns online via HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) system.
Although MTD has been designed to make submitting your VAT return easier and faster, you still might not relish the idea. If so, we can do it for you.

FAQ’s

» What is meant by UK VAT?
UK VAT stands for ‘Value Added Tax’ and is a tax on certain goods and services within the UK. All businesses registered for VAT must charge it on their goods and services at the appropriate rate, collect it from customers, pay it over to HMRC, and keep accurate records of all transactions.
» What are VAT liabilities?
VAT liabilities are the amount of VAT that must be paid to HMRC by a business. It is calculated by subtracting any input tax (the VAT that has been paid out) from the output tax (the VAT charged on sales). Any difference between these two figures must then be paid to HMRC as your liability.

Examples of these are:
- Education services
- Healthcare and medical services
- Charitable activities
- Overseas sales of goods to non-EU customers

» What is meant by input VAT?
Input VAT is the VAT you have paid out on business-related purchases. It is then deducted from the output tax (the VAT charged on sales) to calculate the total liability of your company. To claim input tax, you must hold a valid receipt or invoice from your supplier that shows how much was paid, what it was for and how much VAT was charged. All input tax must be claimed in the VAT return you submit to HMRC.
» What is VAT treatment?
VAT treatment is the process of calculating and paying VAT on supplies made by a business. This includes charging the correct rate on sales, deducting input tax from payments you’ve made, submitting your VAT return and paying any amount due to HMRC.
» Is VAT collected during a particular accounting period?
Yes, VAT must be collected during a particular accounting period. This is usually done in the form of a quarterly or annual VAT return that must be submitted to HMRC. The return details all sales and purchases made by your business and any credit notes or refunds issued. The total amount of output tax (VAT charged on sales) minus input tax (VAT paid out on purchases) must be included in the return, and any difference due to HMRC must also be paid.
» What are VAT rates?
VAT rates vary depending on the goods or services being supplied. The standard rate of VAT is currently 20%, however reduced rates such as 5% and 0% may apply to certain items. It is important to check with HMRC which applies to your business.
» As a UK Company with a taxable turnover just under £85,000, do I have to pay VAT?
No, if your taxable turnover is below £85,000 then you do not need to register for VAT and therefore will not have to pay the tax. However, you may choose to voluntarily register for VAT which would allow you to charge other businesses VAT on sales. This would also give you the opportunity to recover any input tax that has been incurred on goods services used for your business.
Angel Bookkeeping & Payroll Services can help you decide on your VAT position and if voluntary registration is the right decision for your business.
