VAT Return Filing

From £19 · 3-5 working days · fixed price agreed before you pay

Hand your VAT return to an independent accountant. They review your bookkeeping for the period, check input and output VAT (including flat rate, reverse charge and PVA treatments), and prepare the 9-box return, ready for you to review and submit to HMRC under Making Tax Digital - all inside your AccLedger account.

  • ✓Check VAT treatment line by line - standard, zero-rated, exempt, reverse charge and PVA
  • ✓Reconcile your VAT control accounts before the return is prepared
  • ✓Prepare the 9-box return, ready for you to review and submit through AccLedger's MTD connection
  • ✓Check the filing receipt saved to your AccLedger account once you have submitted

  • ✓Your bank transactions and invoices for the VAT period entered or imported in AccLedger
  • ✓Your VAT registration number and scheme (standard or flat rate)
  • ✓Any unusual items you want your accountant to look at (EU purchases, imports, part-exempt income)

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to send my records to the accountant?

No. The work happens inside your AccLedger account - your accountant reviews the data already there and asks questions in the request thread if anything is missing.

Is this MTD compliant?

Yes. You submit the return yourself through AccLedger's HMRC-recognised MTD VAT connection, using your own HMRC credentials.

What if HMRC queries the return?

Reopen the request thread with your accountant and they'll help you respond. Your full working papers stay attached to the request.

Ready to hand it over?

No payment until the scope and price are agreed.
