  • Sales and purchase ledgers, with aged debtors and creditors
  • Journals, fixed assets, accruals and prepayments
  • Several people working on the same client at once

VAT returns and income tax updates

VAT returns are worked out from the books, approved by the client from their phone if you want, and sent to HMRC under Making Tax Digital once HMRC grants Accountin live access. Sole traders and landlords get their quarterly income tax updates and final declaration the same way.

  • Standard, cash and flat rate VAT schemes
  • Self-employment and UK property income, standard or calendar quarters
  • HMRC's reply kept against every submission, once sending is switched on
