Frequently Asked Questions
More on vat, answered
When must I register for VAT?
If you are UK-established: when your VAT taxable turnover in the previous 12 months exceeds £90,000 (checked at the end of each month), or when you expect to exceed it in the next 30 days alone. Registration deadlines and effective dates differ between those two tests, and exceptions apply — including for businesses not established in the UK. We can check which test applies and when you have to register.
Read the answerDo I need to register for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
It depends on your qualifying income in the reference tax year: over £50,000 in 2024/25 brought you in from 6 April 2026, over £30,000 in 2025/26 from 6 April 2027, and over £20,000 in 2026/27 from 6 April 2028. Qualifying income is combined gross self-employment and property income before expenses, and exemptions and exclusions apply. Our MTD checker gives an indication from the answers you give; we confirm it against your full circumstances.

Since starting our new business in 2026, Cloud Accounting Support Services has been fantastic. They have made everything so much easier to manage, and their support has always been there whenever we’ve needed help. We couldn’t have asked for a better accounting partner.

Paul, Ali and the team are simply amazing. Every time I ask for help, someone comes back to me straight away, and I always feel supported. They take the stress out of accounts, explain things in a way I understand, and genuinely care about helping me get it right. Having an accountant like Paul gives me complete peace of mind, and that’s priceless when you’re running a business and wearing lots of hats.

We are literally just signing up with CASS accounting but already we are seeing benefits for our business and have received such a brilliant level of service from our first enquiry to making our decision. We had met Paul at networking events and we could see how knowledgeable he was but also how friendly and supportive he is and this is exactly what we have received so far. The systems are so organised we know we are in very good hands and we are really excited about what this will mean for us and our business. It really does feel more than accountants, or more than the numbers as CASS say. As a smaller business, we feel we are missing on strategic support and feeling like we have a plan and already feel better about this. Thanks so much, Paul and team. We're really excited to be on board with you and for the future! Hope we're not too much work haha
