VAT

The operation of VAT provides not only an administrative burden for many businesses but also proves to be a cash flow burden for many. At SVCO we can assist our clients in decreasing these burdens by looking at for example whether the requirement to submit VAT returns can be reduced from bi-monthly, whether the cash receipts basis for VAT can apply or if a VAT can be reclaimed on any bad debts. Our tax team provides professional VAT advice not just on day to day transactions but also on the VAT treatment of specific transactions for example property transactions.
