Frequently asked
Do I have to register for VAT when I incorporate the UK company?
+
Not automatically. VAT registration is compulsory once UK taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period, but most international entrants register voluntarily earlier to reclaim input VAT and to look credible to UK enterprise buyers.
Which VAT scheme should my UK company choose?
+
It depends on turnover, gross margin and whether you trade goods or services. Our scheme selection memo compares standard accounting, the flat-rate scheme and the annual accounting scheme against your projected first-year numbers before we file.
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) and do I need to comply?
+
MTD is HMRC's requirement that VAT returns are submitted via approved digital software. Every VAT-registered UK business must comply. We configure MTD-compliant bridging software inside your existing bookkeeping stack as part of the engagement.
