VAT Returns
VAT is a specialist tax and needs specialist advice when dealing with its intricacies. The first hurdle is do you need to be registered for VAT and if not is it still in your interest to be VAT registered? Do you opt for standard rate or flat rate or other schemes and what about cash accounting?
Once that hurdle has been overcome you then get down to what input VAT can be reclaimed and is this subject to any partial exemptions? The issues go on but to assist you why not allow Kesaria & Co to deal with your VAT requirements whether it’s a VAT registration issue or you need help with the VAT return itself the team at Kesaria & Co are invaluable.
CIS Returns
Under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), contractors deduct money from a subcontractor’s payments and pass it on to HMRC. Contractors must register for the scheme and file monthly CIS returns to notify HMRC of the above deductions which are to be paid.
It is a necessity that all construction contractors submit CIS Returns, but we understand that this isn’t always straightforward, sometimes the technical ‘know-how’ of a professional is required. Our service will take all the hassle out of submitting a CIS return, meaning you can relax and stick to what you do best, leaving the rest to us.
We work with hundreds of contractors operating within the construction industry, so you can rest assured that you’re under the care of a firm that really understands your situation and its unique pressures. In other words, we know what we’re doing!
