Value Added Tax

VAT is a complex indirect tax which affects most businesses and organisations. Whether it’s completing and submitting quarterly VAT Returns or considering the implications of specific transactions, getting it wrong can be a costly mistake.

Knowing when and how much VAT to pay and reclaim often requires specific advice especially when it comes to one-off or unusual transactions which occur out of the day-to-day running of the business.

RMT can provide specialist VAT knowledge to our clients allowing them to be proactive when decisions and actions need to be taken that will influence their VAT liability or refund. We can provide specific VAT advice on such projects as:

• Land and property transactions;
• Capital expenditure;
• Flat rate schemes;
• Recovery of VAT;
• Construction and refurbishment projects.

VAT is not exclusively a UK tax. It is broadly similar throughout the EU however each country has its own rates and rules which can vary from time to time.
