VAT

We recognise that VAT is an often complex and misunderstood tax and, being over 1/6 of the value of most transactions, getting it wrong can be serious.

VAT rules are so complex that few businesses have the resources needed to understand them in depth or to keep up to date. The rules facing your own business depend on your industry and your own particular circumstances. Negotiating with HM Customs and Excise is far from straightforward, and large potential VAT costs or savings are often at stake.

Barringtons has a specific VAT consultancy, advising clients on all aspects of VAT and other indirect taxes. A significant aspect of this service is negotiating with HM Customs and Excise, always looking to ensure the best possible outcome for you.

In addition to VAT, we also advise and negotiate on Customs duties, import and export matters, Insurance Premium Tax, Landfill Tax and many other related matters. Whatever the problem or potential problem we can help, whether that means an investigation, a penalty, an assessment or a liability dispute.

Our dedicated consultancy always aims to provide rapid and up to date advice not only to our own clients, but also to non-clients, other accountants, solicitors and other professionals. The service is headed by Colin Woodward, himself a former senior VAT inspector.

Finally, we can look to use the intricacies of the legislation to deliver substantial savings to your business. We have the knowledge and experience to get the best result for your business, and to minimise your VAT exposure.
