We prepare accurate, on-time VAT returns using your systems and templates. Our team reconciles data, checks for errors, and ensures everything is aligned with HMRC guidelines before submission.

Our team checks trial balances and supporting schedules to identify any inconsistencies. We apply standard year-end adjustments, prepare lead schedules, and highlight anything unusual. You get clear summaries with proposed entries, helping you finalise accounts efficiently, accurately, and without having to do the legwork yourself.

Once accounts are finalised, we can help you prepare for submission. We make sure formats meet Companies House standards, assist with tagging, and double-check details to avoid last-minute errors. You submit everything under your name and login, while we take care of the admin work in the background.

If you’re handling CT600s in-house, we provide all the figures and supporting documentation you need to prepare the return. If not, we can help prepare and format tax computations for submission. Our process ensures consistency between accounts and tax, making finalisation faster and cleaner.
Services designed to support your growth
Our VAT return process fits seamlessly into your firm — not the other way around. You stay client-facing and in control while we quietly prepare compliant, accurate returns in the background.

You bring the client in, set expectations, and remain the main point of contact. We’ll mirror your processes and work inside your systems.

From daily tasks to reconciliations and reporting, our team manages the numbers behind the scenes — clean, compliant, and up to date.

With accurate, up-to-date books behind you, you can spend more time advising clients and scaling your firm.
Get accurate, compliant VAT returns prepared under your firm’s name. Ideal for firms looking to stay ahead of deadlines and scale capacity without stretching their team.
What outsourced VAT returns actually look like inside a UK firm
Frequent VAT deadlines were overwhelming the team. Too many returns to prepare, review, and file — with increasing risk of delays and penalties.
Eccoux took over the full VAT process: preparing, reviewing, and filing VAT returns directly with HMRC, all branded to the firm.
Deadlines met with confidence, penalties avoided, and the internal team freed up to focus on client relationships and advisory work.
