We put the value-add into VAT.

 

VAT is an incredibly complex beast. The rules are ever-changing, compliance is constantly evolving, and if not managed correctly, there’s the risk of fines – or even prosecution. At Gravita, our VAT experts stay up-to-date with the ins-and-outs so you don’t have to. Now that’s a real value-add. If you want more information on our VAT services, please call us on 0207 330 0000 or speak to our VAT Partner, Sandy Cochrane.

100% committed to the 20%
 
Our sector-wide knowledge is unparalleled. While others shy away from the dreaded 20%, we understand that embracing the complexities of VAT can reap rewards.
 
Our experts will look to maximise your returns, minimise VAT on sales, and help tackle the impact it has on your cash-flow. They’ll also take care of your VAT returns and help you avoid unnecessary inspections. Plus, if on the rare occasion inspections occur, they’ll also represent you at tribunals so you’re not left to face the music alone.
 
VAT can be an incredibly complex area. But with proper planning and appropriate record keeping, our specialists can help you take control. It’s why they’ll take the time to get to know you and your business. By understanding how VAT affects you as a company, they can advise you how to take control of it. They know it also has an impact on your cash flow. That’s why they’ll work with you to manage this cash flow impact, provide support to ensure compliance and manage any financial impact.
 
With them in your corner taking care of your VAT obligations, you’re free to focus on the thing that’s most important to your business; growth.
