VAT adding up in the background?
For most small businesses in Upton, VAT compliance sits somewhere between a mild irritant and a genuine risk. Deadlines creep up, Making Tax Digital rules shift, and the question of whether you are on the right scheme rarely gets a proper answer. None of this needs to be complicated — it just needs someone who already knows what to look for.
- Quarterly VAT deadlines arriving before the bookkeeping is ready
- Unsure whether your VAT scheme is actually the right one for your turnover
- MTD rules changed and your current process probably does not comply
What sorted looks like
VAT stays current, deadlines are met without the scramble, and the right scheme is confirmed rather than assumed. You get a clear picture of what you owe and when — well before HMRC sends a reminder.
- Returns prepared and filed before the deadline, every quarter
- VAT scheme reviewed so you are not overpaying unnecessarily
- MTD-compliant records kept in Xero from the start
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no surprise invoices after filing
What Upton businesses say
A consistent picture from clients who came with VAT and tax questions and left with considerably less to worry about.
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.
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!
VAT compliance, covered end to end
From registration through to quarterly filing and MTD setup, everything is handled consistently by Daniel — no handoffs, no juniors, no guessing.
Quarterly VAT Returns Filed
Your VAT return is prepared from up-to-date records and submitted to HMRC before the deadline every quarter. You will know your liability in advance, not the day before it is due. Errors get caught before they become penalties.
Included as standardVAT Registration and Scheme Advice
Whether you are approaching the registration threshold or questioning whether the flat rate, cash accounting or annual accounting scheme is right for your business, you get a straight answer. Your VAT position is reviewed when circumstances change, not just at year end. Getting this wrong costs money — getting it right rarely costs much.
Included from day oneMaking Tax Digital Compliance
MTD for VAT is mandatory for most VAT-registered businesses and the rules continue to expand. Your records are kept in Xero with compliant digital links, so filing is straightforward and an inspection would not be a problem. Nothing to configure, nothing to worry about.
Cloud-based via XeroConsistently straightforward, by all accounts
Clients range from sole traders to limited companies across Devon. The recurring theme is that things get done properly and without fuss.
Turned Around Fast Without Cutting Corners
“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.”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly Throughout
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Rates Extremely Good, Got More For Money
“His rates are extremely good compared to some other accountants out there and I get more for my money.”
What makes this different from the next accountant
Most accountants file returns. Fewer explain what the return means, flag when a scheme change would save money, or reply before you have finished composing the follow-up email.
Twenty Years Across Real Businesses
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — industries with very different VAT treatment, schemes and compliance pressures. That means your situation is unlikely to be novel. You get considered advice, not a first attempt.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
A VAT question left unanswered for three days is a VAT question that tends to compound. DG Accountancy is known for fast, clear replies. If something needs a proper answer rather than a quick one, you will be told that too — but you will not be left waiting.
MTD-Ready from the Start
Everything runs through Xero with compliant digital links, bank feeds connected and VAT data feeding directly into submissions. There is no separate reconciliation exercise before each return — the records are current because the system keeps them that way.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients in Upton are fully onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward and requires very little from you beyond a single conversation.

Xero set up and connected

VAT runs on its own
Returns are filed on time every quarter. Your MTD obligations are met. If a scheme change or threshold issue needs flagging, you hear about it before it becomes a problem. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“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.”
What people usually want to know
Do you handle VAT for businesses across different industries, or just one sector?
VAT treatment varies considerably by sector — construction has the domestic reverse charge, hospitality has reduced rates, property has partial exemption complications. Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment, so the question of which scheme or rate applies to your business is unlikely to need working out from scratch. You get an answer based on experience, not research.
What does VAT compliance actually cost, and what is included?
For limited company clients, quarterly VAT filing is included from the Operate package upwards, starting from £195 per month. For sole traders, VAT filing is available as an add-on at the entry level or included in the higher tier. All fees are fixed, agreed upfront in writing, and do not change unless the scope of work does. There are no hourly rates and no per-return charges.
My VAT records are behind. Can you still help, and what does catch-up cost?
Yes. Catch-up work — getting records current before onboarding onto an ongoing package — is common and is scoped and priced separately before any work begins. You will know exactly what it involves and what it costs before agreeing to anything. Once books are current, the ongoing monthly fee covers everything going forward.
Is there a long-term contract if I sign up?
No. There is no minimum term beyond the initial three months, during which the promotional rate applies. After that, you can leave with a month’s notice. Your records are yours — Xero data is exportable and you will not be held to ransom over access to your own files.
What happens if HMRC opens a VAT enquiry or sends a compliance check letter?
HMRC VAT compliance checks are more common than most people realise and a letter landing on the doormat is considerably less alarming when the records are in order. DG Accountancy provides HMRC investigation support, handles correspondence on your behalf, and can represent you through the process. The details and any additional cost would be discussed at the point it arises.
I am not sure whether I am on the right VAT scheme. How do I find out?
The flat rate, cash accounting and annual accounting schemes each suit different business profiles, and the scheme you registered under years ago may not be the most efficient one for your current turnover and margins. As part of onboarding, your VAT position is reviewed and any scheme change that would benefit you is identified and discussed. It is a straightforward check that is rarely done proactively but often worth doing.
