A dedicated VAT returns service, to improve your tax efficiency

VAT returns are required at the end of every quarter. Breaking down income and expenses can be time-consuming and drain your time and resources.

There are several considerations to keep front of mind regarding government legislation, tax liabilities and VAT schemes, which is why North East business owners should entrust the help of a local accountancy partner to ease the administrative burden.

One Two One Accounts are experienced in navigating the successful completion of VAT returns, ensuring you don’t pay any more tax than you need, whilst staying within government guidelines.

Offering regular, systematic advice to clients like yourself ensures you keep what is rightfully yours, whilst our processes and guidance mean you maintain tax compliance and remove the confusion that can occur with making tax digital.

Maintaining detailed records of sales, purchases, and VAT is essential for accurate VAT returns. This can be challenging for small businesses with limited administrative capacity. It can be particularly complex for those operating across different sectors, and as case law continues to evolve and regulations change, seeking professional guidance is more important than ever. We are committed to demystifying tax and offering tailored, jargon-free advice.

Facts about VAT returns

  • If your annual taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (currently £90,000), you must register for VAT
  • You must calculate the VAT collected on sales and the VAT paid on purchases
  • The frequency of tax returns depends on your business’s turnover, generally, small businesses submit them quarterly or monthly
  • You can often claim VAT back on eligible business expenses, such as purchases of goods and services

“Wouldn't go anywhere else”

Arluchi Plastering Division have used One Two One Accounts for over 3 years now and we couldn’t be happier with the service we receive. 5 star every time, wouldn’t go anywhere else

Tony Shandran, Director Arluchi Plastering Division Ltd

I am so pleased with the accountancy services provided to us by One Two One Accounts since we appointed them five years ago. They have been both competent and efficient in sorting out our year end accounts and our Partnership Tax Return, which was for our small business. More than that, Self-Assessment Tax Returns and Corporation Tax are all correctly calculated and then returned in good time. And I really appreciated it when One Two One Accounts gave our business practical support. This was through a time when a bank seemed to be applying excessively complicated administrative procedures upon us. This has been resolved now.
