Testimonials

"Client service is of the utmost importance to us as a firm of Accountants and Business Advisors. Having the ability to be able to contact David Miller for immediate advice on VAT and Customs issues ensures that we are able to deliver our efficient tax service successfully and fulfil our client's expectations, especially in circumstances when they ask for guidance on crucial matters which require a tight deadline. Having the ability to engage David's service to attend client's HMRC visits has proved invaluable, particularly as David's knowledge is often superior to that of the Officer in attendance! David also offers creative planning solutions to problems and is very proactive with advice as soon as any legislation changes are known. We could not offer the same quality of service to our clients without David and his team."

Annette Stone, Mark Holt and Co

"The Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes have had a close relationship with The VAT People for the past seven years as they have helped to steer us through the complex process of reclaiming overpaid VAT and successfully accomplishing our de-registration from VAT. They have been able to quickly grasp the nature of our organisation and clearly see the arguments needed to persuade HMRC of our case. The VAT People also had the persistence to continue pursuing our claim until a satisfactory outcome. Rob McCann has always made time to be available whenever his expertise has been required to explain the ongoing situation to our governing trustees and committees. His helpful nature and ability to understand and explain complicated areas of the law has been appreciated and valued."

Simon Kevin, Speechley

When You Can - and Can’t - Use Postponed VAT Accounting

VAT Treatment of Cosmetic Services Supplied by Healthcare Professionals

Services supplied by doctors, nurses and other registered health professionals are exempt from VAT when the primary purpose of the service is the protection, maintenance or restoration of the health of the “patient”.
