Common Questions About Bookkeeping and VAT
Do I need a bookkeeper if I use accounting software?
Yes, while software can automate some tasks, a professional bookkeeper ensures accuracy, compliance, and proper categorisation. Software is a tool—our team adds strategic oversight.
What are the VAT thresholds in the UK?
You must register for VAT if your business turnover exceeds £90,000 in a 12-month period (2024–25 threshold).
What happens if I submit a VAT return late?
HMRC may charge penalties and interest on late submissions or payments. Cohen Accountants ensures you never miss a deadline and helps you avoid costly mistakes.
