Need reliable VAT support in Wolverhampton? Real Key Accountancy helps eligible sole traders and small businesses organise VAT records, monitor taxable turnover and prepare routine VAT returns where the service is agreed and within our approved scope.
VAT work is easier when bookkeeping is current. We provide remote support through telephone, email, WhatsApp and secure digital systems, allowing Wolverhampton businesses to maintain organised records throughout each reporting period.
VAT services for Wolverhampton businesses
VAT involves more than entering totals into a return. Businesses need suitable sales and purchase records, correct VAT treatment, supporting invoices and digital records that work with Making Tax Digital requirements. We establish what support you need before confirming the scope and fee.
What VAT support can include
- Reviewing your current VAT and bookkeeping setup
- Monitoring rolling taxable turnover using organised records
- Supporting VAT registration or deregistration information where appropriate
- Maintaining digital VAT records
- Reconciling relevant bank and bookkeeping transactions
- Preparing routine VAT-return figures
- Submission where agreed, authorised and within scope
- Identifying missing information before the deadline
- Helping you understand the amount reported and key dates
Specialist or complex VAT matters may require referral to an appropriately qualified VAT adviser. We will tell you if the issue falls outside our approved scope.
Who our VAT service is designed for
- Sole traders approaching or exceeding the VAT threshold
- Small VAT-registered businesses
- Tradespeople and construction businesses
- Consultants and freelancers
- Landlords with relevant taxable business activity
- Businesses needing more organised digital VAT records
VAT registration and the £90,000 threshold
The compulsory VAT registration threshold is currently based on VAT-taxable turnover rather than profit, and the main test normally uses a rolling 12-month period. A separate forward-looking test may also apply. Check the current rules through HMRC’s VAT registration guidance.
Use our free VAT registration threshold checker for an initial indication, then read our detailed VAT registration guide for Wolverhampton sole traders. These tools provide general information and do not replace a review of your actual supplies and circumstances.
Making Tax Digital for VAT
VAT-registered businesses generally need to keep relevant records digitally and submit returns using compatible software unless an exemption applies. We can help organise digital bookkeeping and prepare a practical record-keeping process. Read HMRC’s Making Tax Digital for VAT guidance for the current requirements.
How our VAT service works
- Initial review: we discuss your VAT status, scheme, records, software and reporting periods.
- Scope and quotation: we confirm whether bookkeeping, VAT-return work or catch-up work is required.
- Record collection: you provide sales, purchases, bank records and supporting VAT invoices through the agreed system.
- Preparation and queries: we organise the records and ask about missing or unclear transactions.
- Approval and submission: you approve any agreed return before submission.
VAT service pricing
VAT support is an optional add-on starting from £25 per week, subject to transaction volume, VAT scheme, record quality and the exact work required. Historical VAT corrections, overdue records and complex matters are reviewed and quoted separately. Your complete scope and fee will be agreed before work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Can you submit VAT returns?
Yes, where VAT submission falls within our approved scope, the service is agreed and you have authorised the completed return.
Can you help with overdue VAT bookkeeping?
Potentially, following an initial review. Catch-up work is quoted separately because the time required depends on the volume, condition and age of the records.
Is VAT included in the bookkeeping packages?
No. VAT support is an optional add-on and the exact service must be agreed separately.
