What are my VAT obligations?
Your VAT obligations include:
Your total sales and purchases
The amount of VAT you owe
The amount of VAT you’re able to reclaim
The amount of your VAT refund from HMRC – if you’re owed one.
Failure to submit your VAT returns in time will lead to a ‘default’, which may mean you have to pay a surcharge. You may also face stronger penalties for inaccurate returns, but by choosing a chartered accountant with years of experience, you can remain fully compliant with HMRC at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to register my business for VAT in the UK?
You must register for VAT with HMRC if your business’s VAT-taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 over a rolling 12-month period, or if you expect your turnover to cross this threshold in the next 30 days. You can also register voluntarily if your turnover is below this amount, which can allow you to reclaim VAT on eligible business purchases.
How often do I need to submit a VAT return to HMRC?
Most UK businesses submit VAT returns quarterly (every 3 months), with the submission deadline and payment due 1 calendar month and 7 days after the end of the accounting period. However, depending on your scheme, you may submit monthly or annually under specialized HMRC schemes.
How does Making Tax Digital (MTD) affect my VAT returns?
Under HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) rules, all VAT-registered businesses must keep digital accounting records and submit their VAT returns using MTD-compatible software (such as Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage). At Keith Willis Associates, we ensure your records meet MTD requirements and handle submissions seamlessly.
