Sound familiar?
VAT admin that keeps slipping to the bottom of the pile.
For most Teignmouth business owners, VAT is one of those things that gets done in a rush at quarter-end, usually with some doubt about whether it is right. The rules around schemes, partial exemption and the flat rate are not straightforward. And Making Tax Digital has added another layer on top. None of this is catastrophic — but left unmanaged, it costs time, money and occasionally a penalty.
- ✕ Quarterly deadlines approached with a spreadsheet and mild dread
- ✕ Not certain whether you are on the right VAT scheme for your turnover
- ✕ MTD requirements half-sorted, with lingering doubt about compliance
What sorted looks like
VAT compliance that runs quietly in the background. Returns filed on time, the right scheme in place for your business structure, and MTD set up correctly from the start. No quarter-end panic.
- ✓ Returns prepared and submitted well before each HMRC deadline
- ✓ VAT scheme reviewed against your actual turnover and margin
- ✓ Making Tax Digital fully implemented via Xero — nothing outstanding
- ✓ Fixed monthly fee means the cost is predictable, not a nasty surprise

Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.
Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!

Included as standardMTD Setup and Compliance
Making Tax Digital is not optional — but it does not have to be complicated. Your Xero account is configured to meet HMRC’s MTD requirements from day one, with digital records maintained throughout the year.
Included as standardVAT Registration and Scheme Advice
If you are approaching the VAT threshold or considering voluntary registration, the decision has meaningful cash flow consequences. The right scheme — standard, flat rate, cash accounting or annual — depends on your margins and payment terms, and that is worth getting right from the outset.

Eight verified Google reviews averaging 5.0 stars, from sole traders to limited companies across Devon and beyond.
Rates Extremely Good, Get More For Money
“Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could. As a sole trader it’s really hard to keep on top of things and have now asked Dan to do monthly books for me. His rates are extremely good compared to some other accountants out there and I get more for my money.”
Made a Stressful Process Much Easier
“I worked with Daniel at DG Accountancy to review and sign off my sole trader accounts for a time-sensitive mortgage application, and the service was excellent. Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners.”
Fantastic Service, No Hesitation Recommending
“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
What makes the difference for Teignmouth businesses
Most accountants file what you send them. This practice is set up to handle VAT properly — scheme, compliance and communication included.
Right Scheme, Not Just Filed
There are several VAT schemes available to UK businesses, and the difference in cash flow between them can be significant. Daniel reviews your structure and turnover to make sure you are not on the wrong one by default. This is the sort of thing that rarely gets checked — and should be.
No Waiting for Answers
VAT queries do not sit in a queue for three days. DG Accountancy is known for fast replies, and that reputation is earned rather than claimed. When a question comes up mid-quarter, you get a clear answer the same day.
MTD-Ready From Day One
Xero is set up properly — digital records, bank feeds and MTD-compatible submissions — so your VAT obligations are met without manual effort on your part. No spreadsheets exported and re-formatted before filing.
Up and running in four steps
Most Teignmouth clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward by design.

VAT runs itself from here
Each quarter, your return is prepared, reviewed with you in plain English and submitted to HMRC on time. Your threshold is monitored, your scheme stays under review, and you get on with running your business.
“Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.”
Things Teignmouth businesses usually ask
Do you handle VAT for businesses in Teignmouth even though you are based in Torquay?
Yes — DG Accountancy operates entirely online and serves clients across Devon and the wider UK. Location is not a factor. Everything is handled via Xero, video calls and secure file sharing, so businesses in Teignmouth, Dawlish, Newton Abbot and beyond receive exactly the same service.
What does VAT specialist support cost, and what is included?
Quarterly VAT filing is included in the Operate, Grow and Scale limited company packages, which start from £195 per month — with 50% off the first three months. For sole traders and Start package clients, VAT is available as an add-on. Every quote is written down and agreed before any work begins, so there are no hidden charges.
My VAT records are a bit of a mess — can you still help?
This is a fairly common starting point. A catch-up exercise is carried out first to bring your records up to date in Xero, and the cost of that is agreed upfront before any work begins. Once records are clean, quarterly compliance becomes straightforward.
Is there a long-term contract if I sign up?
No. There is no lock-in. If it is not working for you after three months, you leave with clean, MTD-compliant records and nothing further owed. The expectation is that it will work — but you are not bound to it regardless.
How do I know if I am on the right VAT scheme for my business?
The flat rate, standard, cash accounting and annual accounting schemes each suit different business types and cash flow patterns. As part of onboarding, your current scheme is reviewed against your actual turnover and margin — and if a change is in your interest, it is flagged and discussed before any action is taken.
Can you help if HMRC sends a VAT enquiry or compliance check?
Yes. Daniel handles HMRC correspondence directly and responds on your behalf. The best protection against a compliance check is accurate, well-maintained records — which is precisely what MTD-compliant Xero bookkeeping provides throughout the year.
VAT compliance sorted, quarter after quarter.
Fixed monthly fee. MTD-compliant records. Quarterly returns filed on time with a clear explanation before anything is submitted. No lock-in, no jargon.
