Sound familiar?
Another VAT deadline. Another quarter of guesswork.
Every three months the same question: are the figures right, is the return filed on time, and is the business actually MTD compliant? For many Devon businesses, VAT returns get done in a rush, filed at the last minute, and checked about as thoroughly as time allows. Errors carry penalties. Late submissions carry penalties. Neither is complicated to avoid — it just requires someone whose job it actually is.
- Returns filed late or inaccurately because the books were not current
- No clear picture of VAT liability until the quarter is already over
- MTD obligations unclear — software not connected, records not compliant
What a handled VAT return looks like
Books reconciled monthly so the figures are ready when the quarter closes. VAT liability visible in advance, not just at deadline. HMRC submission handled on time, every time — with MTD-compliant software already in place.
- Books current monthly — VAT return prepared from accurate records
- VAT position visible before the quarter ends, not after
- MTD-compliant software set up and connected — no scramble to comply
- Fixed monthly cost covers preparation, filing and any HMRC queries
What Devon business owners say about us
We work with small limited companies and sole traders across Devon. Here are two clients who came to us with much the same situation you are probably in now.
Kieran helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.
I’ve been using Swift Accounting for two years now after my previous accountant retired and recommended Kieran. Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your VAT position clean, your filings on time and your compliance managed — for one fixed monthly fee.
Quarterly VAT Returns and Filing
Each quarter, your VAT return is prepared from up-to-date records and submitted to HMRC before the deadline. Making Tax Digital compliant as standard — no additional software setup required on your end. You receive confirmation of submission and an advance view of what is owed.
Included in Complete and Premium plansMonthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Clean, current records are the foundation of an accurate VAT return. Your bank transactions, invoices and expenses are reconciled monthly on Xero so that when the quarter closes, the figures are ready. No archaeology at deadline time.
Available as add-on or in Premium planYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts, the CT600 and Companies House confirmation statement all filed for a fixed fee. Because the books are kept current throughout the year, your year-end involves considerably less back-and-forth than most clients are used to.
No extras, no surprisesDevon businesses who use Swift every quarter
Sole traders, small limited companies and growing businesses across Devon. Usually arriving with VAT records in some state of disarray. Leaving with considerably less to think about.
Efficient, Knowledgeable, and Will Return
“Kieran was really helpful and very knowledgeable with my circumstance, he gave me great advice and was very efficient with getting my tax’s submitted, really glad I found Swift and will definitely be using for future accounting.”
HMRC Explained Clearly, Price in Five Minutes
“One of the friendliest accounting companies I’ve ever spoken to. I was fairly stressed about all of the big terms HMRC use, but Kieran explained everything in the best possible way, told me the price they’d charge after 5 minutes of speaking.”
Switched Accountants and Already Saving Money
“Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money. Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media”
Why Devon businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who treats VAT as a routine matter rather than an annual headache.
VAT handled as a matter of course
Quarterly VAT returns are not an add-on or a one-off — they are built into how your account is managed. Because the books are reconciled monthly, the return is prepared from figures that are already accurate. There is no last-minute chase for receipts or invoices.
Replies the same day
Questions about VAT — partial exemption, the flat rate scheme, a purchase you are not sure about — get answered the day you ask them. Not queued, not passed on. If you need to know before making a decision, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, nothing added quarterly
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move when the VAT quarter closes. No quarterly billing surcharge, no invoice that arrives larger than agreed. Your accounting costs are as predictable as the VAT return itself.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to your VAT returns being handled. No complicated onboarding, no paperwork that takes a fortnight.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no call centre.
A short call to understand your setup
Twenty minutes to understand your current records, your VAT registration status and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague estimates.
We connect and configure everything
Your accounting software is connected, your VAT scheme is confirmed and your records are brought up to date. If previous returns need reviewing, that is noted at the start — no surprises later.
Quarterly returns handled from here
Every quarter, your return is prepared from current records and submitted before the deadline. You will know what is owed in advance, HMRC correspondence is handled, and VAT becomes something you confirm rather than something you dread.
“What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.”
