Value Added Tax
VAT is a young tax which is constantly evolving making VAT interesting, frustrating and endlessly challenging. Our highly expert VAT team enjoys the challenge and is constantly looking at ways to help our clients to understand how it works. By combining our professional expertise with attention to each client’s business, we can offer advice which is clear, accurate and timely.
As a leading member of Crowe Horwath International – a formal grouping of independent accountancy firms in 107 countries – we are also strongly positioned to support your international needs. Through this network, clients can have access to top-quality VAT advice wherever they need it.
To ensure that our clients always receive the best possible advice, each member of the Crowe Clark Whitehill VAT team specialises in one of the following sector areas.
Not for Profit
We understand the impact VAT has in the not for profit sector. With a majority of not for profit bodies not being entitled to recover all VAT incurred on expenditure we have identified a number or areas where the impact of VAT could be mitigated.
- Charities
- Independent schools
- Academies
- Membership organisations
- Trade unions
Professional practices
The VAT team works very closely with the firm’s specialist Professional Practices Group. For this reason we are highly experienced in providing VAT services to this sector, particularly to accountancy and legal practices. We advise on the place of supply of services and the often misunderstood area of disbursements.
Corporate business
We understand the importance of VAT for our corporate clients. From meeting deadlines and correctly completing declarations, to planning transactions and business structures we ensure VAT does not necessarily crystallise as a cost for bigger or more complex businesses.
