VAT Returns Explained
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax added to the purchase price of goods and services sold by registered companies. VAT aims to generate revenue for the government while distributing the tax burden across stages of production and consumption. Registered businesses can claim VAT paid on expenses when filing VAT returns.
All VAT-registered businesses are required to submit VAT returns electronically to HMRC. The returns provide information on the amount of VAT collected from their customers and the amount of VAT paid to suppliers by the company. Businesses typically submit VAT returns every three months, representing their accounting period.
Which business needs to submit Value Added Tax (VAT)?
Currently, any business with taxable turnover exceeding £90,000 within a 12-month period must register for VAT. This registration requirement applies to both limited companies and sole traders. The process of registering for VAT is relatively straightforward, and at Reflex Accounting, we can help every step of the way.

FAQs
When must I register for VAT?
You must register if your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period. You can also register voluntarily to reclaim input VAT
What is the Flat Rate VAT Scheme?
It is a simplified scheme for smaller businesses where you pay a fixed percentage of turnover to HMRC. We can calculate if this scheme saves you money compared to standard VAT.
What happens if I submit my VAT return late?
HMRC operates a points-based penalty system. We ensure you never miss a deadline by setting up automated reminders and handling the submission for you.
Can I reclaim VAT on expenses incurred before I registered?
Usually, yes. You can reclaim VAT on goods bought up to 4 years ago (if you still hold them) and services bought up to 6 months before registration.
What is the difference between standard and cash accounting for VAT?
Standard accounting asks you to pay VAT when you issue an invoice. Cash accounting only asks you to pay VAT when your customer actually pays you. Cash accounting is often better for cash flow; we can switch you to it.
