Managing VAT for your main business activities is straightforward enough – until transactions with associated businesses cause unexpected challenges. These can become easy targets for HMRC, leading to costly errors if you’re not properly prepared. At VAT Exchange, we provide expert guidance and troubleshooting support to ensure your corporate VAT is structured correctly and efficiently from the start.


Avoid Costly VAT Mistakes

One common pitfall occurs when your company charges too much VAT to an associated business. Even if that VAT is paid to HMRC, the associated business cannot always claim it back, creating messy and time-consuming issues for everyone involved. Our goal is to help you avoid these headaches by getting things right from day one.


Our Process

  1. Initial Analysis
    We begin by reviewing the details of your transactions, examining why charges are being made, and confirming that the VAT treatment matches the goods and/or services provided.

  2. Risk Assessment
    Next, we identify potential red flags that could prompt queries or assessments from HMRC. By spotting these issues early, we help you stay compliant and protect your business from unexpected liabilities.

  3. VAT Group Registration Review
    We also explore whether a VAT group registration could simplify your VAT position and eliminate the need to charge VAT on transactions between group members – often a powerful tool for improving efficiency and reducing administrative burdens.
