Aardvark VAT Resource. VAT Advice for professionals and business

Aardvark VAT Resource provides VAT advice, support and technical assistance to professional services firms, such as accountants and solicitors and directly to businesses and individuals.

VAT (Value Added Tax) can be one of the most complex, and potentially costly, areas of administration for many businesses. A "self-assessed" tax, businesses are expected to understand it and be able to apply it to their activities with little help from HMRC but tough penalties if they get it wrong.

Recognising the need for independent, practical VAT advice at a rate all businesses can afford, Aardvark VAT Resource calls on knowledge gained working for HM Customs & Excise (now HM Revenue & Customs), Accountancy firms of all sizes and in industry with/alongside a wide variety of businesses.

Whilst we frequently take on large projects, one of our most useful, and used, services is the VAT Helpline. A resource you can call on as and when you need it to ask anything from the simplest question to scoping out the issues in the most complex of issues. Useful to save you hours of research, to confirm or otherwise a conclusion you have already reached or simply to allow you to offer VAT help to your Clients.

We are not part of any firm of accountants or solicitors, so we can provide VAT technical support to such businesses without any concerns of poaching or conflicts of interest. We can also provide advice to businesses free of any concerns about independence, provide a second opinion or simply offer the same service at a much more affordable price.

We have experience in advising on simple questions like "Should I register for VAT?" or "What Flat Rate Scheme percentage should I use?". We are also experienced in much more technical VAT issues such a reviewing complex VAT Partial Exemption Methods and advising on difficult VAT liability questions. And, of course, are particularly well versed in dealing with HMRC officers during difficult dispute resolution negotiations.

Our FREE VAT assessment review offers you a no-risk opportunity to check whether HMRC can be challenged before you pay them anything.

For your peace of mind, we are covered with £1 million Professional Indemnity Insurance (note: effective on launch of business).
