FAQs
When is VAT registration required?
UK businesses must register once their taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 annually. Overseas traders making or intending to make taxable supplies in the UK must register for VAT regardless of the UK threshold, except for supplies subject to the reverse charge.
How do imports and exports affect VAT?
VAT is charged on imports at customs, based on the value of goods. Exports are generally zero-rated, but compliance with post-Brexit rules for trading with the EU is essential.
What happens if I miss a VAT deadline?
Late submissions won’t trigger an immediate financial penalty but will incur penalty points for each missed deadline. Sterling & Wells ensures you never miss one.
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?
MTD mandates digital record-keeping and submission of VAT returns. Our team provides full support to ensure your business complies with these digital requirements.
How does Sterling & Wells guarantee VAT return accuracy?
We meticulously review all documentation and confirm every return with you before filing—minimizing errors and reducing the risk of HMRC penalties.
