PEM have given advice on a number of technical issues relating to complex VAT matters as well as ensuring we meet the ever changing expectations and reporting regulations.

VAT is a complex and challenging tax to navigate. Get it wrong and you could be faced with unexpected bills and potentially substantial penalties. Similarly, fail to maximise your VAT recovery or apply the incorrect rate you could find yourself making costly overpayments.

Whether trading locally or in the global marketplace, it is important to ensure your systems and processes are compliant. Our experienced team advise businesses across many industries, including those with particularly complex legislation, such as charities, not-for-profits and property developers.

Contact our VAT team to find out how we can guide you through ever-changing regulations, ensure compliance and spot legal opportunities to minimise your bills where possible.

Our VAT services

Savings

It can be difficult to save VAT on transactions that have already happened so it is essential to consider VAT at an early stage as savings can be made. We help identify the VAT opportunities that can accompany your commercial decisions and have helped many clients obtain savings by using accounting schemes and available reliefs.

Training & guidance

We provide our clients with regular updates on current issues and offer workshops on sector specific issues to raise the level of VAT awareness amongst attendees. These can be focused on a particular technical aspect or can be more general.

Errors, disputes & enquiries

We are experienced in resolving issues with HMRC, such as liability disagreements and pre-repayment verification enquiries. We may be able to secure a reduction or elimination of any threatened or actual assessment and can also assist in resolving queries or disagreements between suppliers and customers.

Compliance & planning

Businesses are usually comfortable with the VAT implications of their day to day transactions. But what about those odd one off transactions that may occur from time to time? We help clients manage their VAT reporting responsibilities effectively. Our knowledge of case law and legislation allows us to identify opportunities and minimise risk for our clients.
