UK and Middle East VAT

VAT needs careful planning as it represents both a compliance obligation and a real cash flow impact

Complying with the wide range of indirect taxes, from VAT to Stamp Duty Land Tax and Excise/Customs duty, often requires timely assessment and action given their transitionary nature.

Our approach

VAT and other indirect taxes are transaction driven, and the rules are complex and can have a significant impact on your bottom line.

We help businesses across the VAT spectrum whether it is correct accounting on sales and purchases, or on a new venture, or overseas expansion, buying or selling a property or other assets. Our experienced team addresses compliance issues proactively to help you avoid penalties, as well as the impact of transactions on other areas of the business, including accounting and corporate tax.
