» Customs Health Check
Does your business make the most of the Customs system? Barnard Atkins offers a low cost Customs Health Check which is designed to spot opportunities to save Duty which is after all usually an actual cost to bottom line profit as well as assisting businesses ensure their imports are correctly declared. If you are an importer in particular and want to see if we can save you money, contact our consultant David Miller.


» Option to Tax - don't get caught out!
"The Option To Tax" is widely used in order to ensure that VAT recovery can be made on capital expenditure on commercial buildings. However, not only should the decision to opt be taken after careful consideration, there is a very specific procedure in opting to tax and we find ever more often that if this is not met, businesses can end up losing VAT unnecessarily. In fact whilst Customs have recently clarified when they will allow backdating of an option to tax this is discretionary and our advice is 'let's get it right in the first place!'. We can assist any business who either wants to opt to tax or who has specific option to tax issues. For further information please contact David Miller or Colin Mathieson.

» Lost European VAT!
Businesses who regularly have employees working abroad in other European countries are potentially losing thousands of pounds in unclaimed VAT. To see if you can save money, contact our consultant Colin Mathieson.

» Customs Pay Penalty For Late VAT!
It is normal for Customs to verify large VAT return repayments before processing and they normally have a 30 day timescale for doing so. See what happens when they stray outside this timescale. Contact our consultant Colin Mathieson.
