What is it?

VAT: What you need to know

Value-Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax placed on a product whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the point of sale.

VAT compliance involves regular reporting and payment to tax authorities, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors without the right tools.

What is VAT?

Does it affect me?

If your business is VAT registered, you need to submit VAT returns regularly. This applies to businesses of all sizes, across various industries.

What do I need to do?

You'll need to maintain detailed records of all transactions, calculate the correct amount of VAT due, and submit accurate VAT returns on time and in most cases electronically in line with Making Tax Digital (MTD).

What's the deadline?

VAT return deadlines vary depending on your reporting period. Typically, returns are submitted quarterly, but it's essential to check the specific dates for your business.
