VAT Returns

What Are VAT Returns?

VAT (value added tax) is a requirement of any business with an annual turnover over the VAT threshold. Businesses who earn under the threshold have the choice to register for VAT if they wish. Generally, VAT returns are to be submitted 4 times a year. The return will include both the VAT you have charged your customers & the VAT you have incurred. However, due to being VAT registered you are able to claim the VAT you have incurred back as a refund. Returns are now submitted digitally under the making tax digital rule.

How Do You Know If Its Applicable To You?

VAT (value added tax) is a requirement of any business with an annual turnover of more than £85,000 & that aren’t providing VAT exempt goods or services. A business who is VAT exempt for goods & services do not need to be VAT registered. Any business can choose to be VAT registered if they earn under an annual turnover of £85,000, this isn’t mandatory & is done out of choice.
