We explain deregistering from vat in plain English, handle it correctly, and make sure you claim every relief you are entitled to, all at a fixed fee.
Deregistering from VAT
If your turnover falls below the deregistration threshold, or your business changes, you can deregister from VAT and stop charging it, which can help if your customers are mainly households who cannot reclaim VAT.
We check whether deregistration is right for you, handle the process with HMRC, deal with the VAT due on stock and assets at deregistration, and make sure the timing works in your favour.
Deregistering can make you more competitive if you sell to consumers, but there is VAT to account for on stock and assets you keep, so the timing and figures matter. We handle it properly.
The Detail That Matters
If your turnover falls below the deregistration threshold, or your business changes, you can deregister from VAT and stop charging it, which can help if you sell mainly to households. But there is VAT to account for on stock and assets, so timing matters.
You can deregister if your taxable turnover falls below the £88,000 deregistration threshold, or you stop making taxable supplies. It is often worthwhile if your customers are households who cannot reclaim the VAT you charge.
Removing VAT from your prices can make you more competitive with consumer customers, or improve your margin, since you no longer have to add 20% to your sales.
On deregistration you must account for VAT on stock and assets you keep, above a threshold, since you previously reclaimed the VAT on them. We calculate this and time the deregistration to minimise it.
We handle the deregistration application and final VAT return with HMRC, and make sure the closing figures are right so it is done cleanly and on time.
Deregistration is often overlooked when it would help a consumer-facing business, or done without accounting for the VAT on retained stock and assets, causing an unexpected closing charge.
