VAT Consultancy, VAT Advice from Consultant Les Howard
My affordable VAT help line for accountants provides expert VAT advice when you need it the most

VAT Help Line for Accountants

I operate a reasonably priced VAT Help Line to support independent Accountancy Practices. I can review your VAT queries, and provide professional and cost-effective solutions.

Either pay a modest quarterly retainer; or just pay-as-you-go. (The retainer only covers an initial response to any query. If more work is required, then a fee is payable).

Contact me by telephone (01480 464133) or email.

I will also add you to my e-bulletin list. This periodic VAT news bulletin provides practical VAT information, and highlights relevant issues.

Training for Accountants

I can deliver in-house training for your practice. This is tailored to your specific needs, and will include Q&A. Typically, a half-day session will cost £300+VAT. Examples of subject matter: VAT updates; penalties; cross-border; Special Schemes.

Interested in my VAT Help Line?

Rather than ask you to fill out a long form with your details, simply let me have your name, company name and a contact telephone number and I will be in touch!

VAT Articles

I produce a periodic VAT bulletin for Accountants, and I also provide material for a number of websites.

These provide general guidance only, and fuller professional advice is always recommended.

  • Belated VAT Registration - HMRC Concession
    I want to take an opportunity to praise HMRC. Reading Tax Tribunal decisions is always interesting and educational. Two decisions regarding how HMRC deal with belated VAT registrations shed light on a rather mysterious HMRC section called 'Liable Not Liable' - [More]
  • Belated VAT Registration - HMRC Concession
    This article outlines how the VAT D-I-Y scheme works. The scheme applies to an individual, or an organisation, which want to construct (or convert) a building for his/her (its) own use. - [More]
  • Repayment Supplement - Important Development
    The VAT Repayment Supplement (RS) 'punishes' H M Revenue & Customs when they fail to process or action a Repayment Return in a timely fashion. They have 30 days from the receipt of the Return or claim to issue an (internal) instruction to make the payment to the taxpayer. - [More]
