Common Questions

Find answers to your VAT questions quickly.

What is VAT and how does it work?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a tax charged on most goods and services sold in the UK. If you’re VAT-registered, you can usually reclaim VAT on eligible business purchases while charging VAT on your own sales. Many businesses seek help with VAT returns in Tonbridge because the rules can quickly become confusing, especially around deadlines, schemes, and Making Tax Digital requirements. I help sole traders and small businesses understand what applies to them, stay compliant, and avoid unnecessary stress.

Who needs to register for VAT?

You need to register if your VAT-taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in any 12-month rolling period. But even if you’re below that, voluntary registration can sometimes make sense — especially if your clients are VAT-registered or your expenses are high. I’ll help you work out what’s right for you, whether you’re a sole trader or small business in Kent.

What are the VAT rates in the UK?

There are three main VAT rates:

Standard rate – 20% (most goods and services)
Reduced rate – 5% (some energy, health, or safety-related items)
Zero rate – 0% (certain food, books, children’s clothing)

Some things are exempt (like insurance or education), which works differently. I’ll help you figure out which rate applies to your sales.

How often do I need to submit my VAT returns?

Most businesses file quarterly VAT returns online. Some may be on annual schemes or special methods like the Flat Rate Scheme. Either way, I’ll help you stay on top of deadlines and get your software or spreadsheets set up to avoid penalties.

What can I claim back on VAT?

You can reclaim VAT on most goods and services you buy for your business — things like tools, stock, software, or travel (where VAT is charged). I’ll help you spot what’s claimable, flag anything HMRC might challenge, and make sure your records are watertight.

What happens if I miss a VAT deadline?

HMRC now uses a points-based system for late returns. If you miss too many, you could face financial penalties or interest. I’ll keep you ahead of deadlines with reminders, digital filing tools, and support if you ever fall behind.
