VAT Case Studies: Real Savings, Real Peace of Mind

Case Study: Missed £30,000 VAT Reclaim Due to Delayed Advice

One client converted their beautiful country mansion into a weekend wedding venue. They invested heavily in refurbishments, but chose to manage without an accountant—at least at first. Over a year later, they finally came to us for support.

Unfortunately, by then it was too late to reclaim over £30,000 in VAT they had paid on the renovations. The reclaim window had passed, and the money was gone.

This case highlights a vital point: seeking VAT advice early isn’t just helpful—it can directly impact your cash flow. With the right guidance at the right time, this client could have gained a major cash injection, even after covering our fees.

Case Study: Resolving a £10,607 VAT Dispute with HMRC

Another client received a sudden VAT demand letter for £10,607—just days before a planned holiday. Understandably, he panicked and contacted us immediately.

We investigated and discovered the issue: during the transfer of the VAT registration number from his old company to the new one, an error had occurred. HMRC had mistakenly added VAT already submitted and paid to the new account.

We stepped in, provided the correct documentation, and liaised directly with HMRC. The result? The demand was removed from his online VAT dashboard, and no money was owed.

Most importantly, our client was able to go on holiday stress-free—knowing we were taking care of everything in the background.
