“Do I really need to register for VAT yet?” is one of the most common questions we hear from growing businesses.

VAT can feel complicated, but the basics are clear: if your VAT taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in a 12‑month period (or you expect it to), you must register. Once registered, you need to charge VAT at the correct rate, keep proper VAT records, submit VAT returns (usually quarterly), and pay any VAT due to HMRC.

Miss the registration point, use the wrong rate, or file incorrect returns, and you could face unexpected VAT bills, penalties, or cashflow pressure.

At 1st Cloud Accountants, we help you:
• Monitor your VAT taxable turnover and registration thresholds
• Decide if voluntary registration makes sense below £90,000
• Choose and manage suitable VAT schemes
• File accurate VAT returns and plan for payments

If you are unsure where you stand on VAT, get in touch and let’s review your position before it becomes an expensive problem.

“Do I really need to keep all these tax records?” is something we hear a lot from individuals and landlords.

If you file a Self Assessment return, HMRC expects you to keep clear, readable records for your income, expenses, savings, pensions, property and any capital gains. You can keep them on paper, digitally or in software – the format is up to you.

If your figures are wrong or you cannot show how you worked them out, you could face interest and penalties.

At 1st Cloud Accountants, we can help you:
• Work out what records you actually need to keep
• Decide how long to keep them
• Organise digital or paper systems that suit you
• Deal with missing, estimated or provisional figures correctly

Want to tidy up your records before the next return is due? Get in touch with our team today.

“Inheritance Tax isn’t due yet, is it?”
It might be sooner than you think.

Inheritance Tax must usually be paid by the end of the sixth month after the date of death. In many cases, you also need to pay some or all of it before you can get probate (or confirmation in Scotland).

Miss the deadline and HMRC will charge interest, even if you’re still sorting out the estate or waiting to sell assets.

At 1st Cloud Accountants, we can help you to:
• Work out when Inheritance Tax is due
• Decide whether to pay in instalments or on account
• Use the right reference and payment method
• Reduce delays and avoid unnecessary interest

Need clarity on Inheritance Tax deadlines? Get in touch with our team today.
