VAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Your VAT returns, filed on time.
VAT deadlines arrive every quarter whether you are ready or not. Getting the numbers wrong — or missing the submission — costs more than the accountancy fee. We prepare and file your VAT returns accurately, keep you MTD-compliant, and advise on the right scheme for your business. Tailored quote, qualified accountants, same-day replies.
- VAT returns filed accurately before every deadline
- MTD-compliant submissions via HMRC-recognised software
- Scheme advice included — Standard, Flat Rate, or Cash Accounting
- VAT registration handled if your threshold is approaching
No long-term contract. If you are not satisfied within three months, you leave with your VAT records in order and nothing further owed.

Sound familiar?
VAT quarter ending and you are still not ready?
For most business owners, VAT returns are a recurring source of low-level dread. The deadline is fixed, the calculations need to be right, and Making Tax Digital adds another layer of compliance to keep on top of. Miss a submission or miscalculate the figures and HMRC will let you know about it — with a surcharge attached.
- Quarterly deadlines creeping up with incomplete or unreconciled records
- Not certain whether your VAT scheme is actually the most cost-effective one
- Making Tax Digital requirements unclear and the right software not yet in place
What handled looks like
Your VAT returns are prepared from clean, reconciled records and submitted before the deadline — every time. We advise on the right scheme for your turnover and business type, and connect your accounts to MTD-compatible software so the compliance side takes care of itself.
- Deadlines tracked and returns filed from current, reconciled records
- Scheme reviewed at outset — Standard, Flat Rate, or Cash Accounting as appropriate
- MTD-compliant submission via Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, or Sage
- Tailored quote based on transaction volume — no fixed price guesswork

Confidence That Everything Is Taken Care Of

What makes the difference on a VAT return
Any accountant can press submit. The value is in getting the figures right, choosing the right scheme, and making sure MTD is properly set up before HMRC asks questions.
Right scheme, right liability
Whether Standard Rate, Flat Rate, or Cash Accounting suits your business depends on your turnover, margin, and payment terms. We review the options at the start and revisit them if your circumstances change. The wrong scheme is a quiet, recurring overpayment — and most businesses never check.
MTD connected from day one
Making Tax Digital is a compliance requirement, not a nice-to-have. We set up and maintain the direct link between your accounting software and HMRC, so every VAT submission goes through a compliant digital route. No bridging spreadsheets, no manual workarounds.
Best priced VAT accountants in the UK
Wings Online Filings is the best priced online accountancy practice in the UK — and backs it with a price match promise. Show us a quote from a business with a lower price and we will match it. Same qualified accountants, same MTD-compliant service, at the lowest price you will find.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are set up and have their first return in progress within a few days. There is very little you need to do beyond sharing your records.
Request a quote
Tell us your turnover, filing frequency, and which software you use, if any. You will receive a tailored quote the same day — no obligation and no ambiguity about what is included.
Share your records
We connect to your accounting software directly, or you share your records in whatever format you have them. If your bookkeeping is behind, we can catch it up before preparing the return — that will be quoted separately and honestly.
We prepare and check
Your VAT return is prepared, reviewed for accuracy, and any unusual items are flagged to you before submission. Nothing goes to HMRC without your sign-off.
Submitted, deadline met
The return is submitted digitally via MTD-compliant software. You receive confirmation, your records are updated, and next quarter’s deadline is already in the calendar. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Prads at Wings online filings went above and beyond to help us out in a timely and professional manner, flexible online meetings, extra work to fix my mistakes. Would recommend 100%”
Common questions about VAT returns
Do you handle VAT for businesses on different VAT schemes?
Yes. We work with businesses on the Standard Rate, Flat Rate, Cash Accounting, and Annual Accounting schemes. If you are not sure which applies to you — or whether your current scheme is the right one — we will review that as part of the onboarding process. It is a question worth asking, because the difference in VAT liability between schemes can be material.
How much does VAT return preparation cost?
VAT returns are priced on a quote basis because the workload varies by transaction volume, filing frequency, and the state of your records. You will receive a tailored quote the same day you enquire. If you have a lower quote from another firm, show us and we will match it — that is a straightforward promise, not a marketing line.
My VAT records are behind. Can you still help?
Yes. We regularly take on clients whose bookkeeping is behind or whose previous returns need reviewing. Catch-up work is quoted separately so you know what it costs before we start. Once the records are clean, ongoing returns become straightforward — the messy start is a one-off.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. We work on a rolling basis with no minimum term. If you want to leave, you give notice and we hand over your records and VAT history in good order. There are no exit fees and no awkward conversations — your compliance history belongs to you.
What does Making Tax Digital mean for my VAT return?
MTD for VAT requires businesses above the registration threshold to keep digital VAT records and submit returns using HMRC-recognised software. We handle the full MTD setup — connecting your accounting software to HMRC’s systems — and every return we file goes through a compliant digital route. If you are currently using a spreadsheet or bridging software, we can move you to a cleaner setup.
Can you advise on whether I should be VAT-registered?
Yes. If your taxable turnover is approaching the registration threshold, we will flag it before the obligation kicks in and help you plan the transition. In some cases, voluntary registration can also be beneficial — particularly if your customers are VAT-registered businesses and you have significant input tax to reclaim. We will give you a straight answer on what makes sense for your situation.
