We provide a mock VAT investigations service to put your accounting records through the rigours of a VAT inspection. With these, we are able to identify any shortcomings that can then be corrected before HMRC come knocking.
Our VAT Director, Michele Harris, has 27 years experience with HMRC of running and operating VAT inspections for the VAT office. Michele will liaise with you or your accounts department to carry out an inspection as you could expect from HMRC. The inspection can either be carried out with the prior knowledge of your accounts department or, for a more authentic touch, it can be carried out without their prior knowledge to prevent any opportunities for them to check and correct before our arrival. On completion of the review, you will be provided with a report highlighting any weaknesses within your systems and, if required, we can also work with you to ensure the weaknesses are addressed, making your financial systems more robust and ensuring you can sleep at night.
We are able to tailor the Mock VAT Inspection service to all sizes of business. It is suitable for larger, established businesses who may have a finance department in place or where your transactions are complex and where you may want some comfort that the VAT compliance side of your business is being operated efficiently and effectively. Equally, if you are a smaller business, VAT can be one of those taxes which you worry about and therefore having an independent review can provide you with the reassurance you need.
If you have any concerns regarding your VAT records or the way your accounts are being maintained, arrange a free 30-minute consultation with Michele to discuss with you the options available for carrying out a Mock VAT Inspection.
