Our detailed understanding of the specific VAT issues that local authorities face means that we are well placed to provide advice of the highest quality.

Being a specialist practice enables us to minimise our overheads while, at the same time, ensure that we have everything in place to deliver the best possible service. As a result you can benefit from very competitive fees without compromising on the standard of advice and service you receive.

The services we offer are set out in detail on the Services page, they include:

    • VAT Helpline
    • VAT reviews

We do not offer predefined ‘packages’ or graded levels of service. We prefer to work with you to identify your specific needs and then tailor our services to suit. This ensures that not only do you get the very best service, but also that you are not paying for services that you do not use.

Please ‘Contact Us’ to discuss how we can help, and to set up an initial meeting which is both free and without obligation.

  
   
   
 

Fleming and Condé Nast

Following new legislation recently introduced in the March Budget by HMRC, local authorities now have until 31st March 2009 to submit claims for over declared output tax and under claimed input tax. This is a significant opportunity for the local authority sector. LAVAT has detailed knowledge of the sector, its activities and the changes in VAT liability of many activities from that applied to those activities pre 1996. This allows us to offer significant advantages in identifying areas of activity which will allow claims for over declared output tax. We are currently working with a number of clients, on a no win no fee basis, to identify, quantify and submit claims.

Should you wish to discuss how we may be able to assist you, please contact us.

We have recently reported that Customs are issuing a standard letter to those authorities that have accounted for VAT on off-street car parking and have subsequently submitted Voluntary Disclosures to recover the VAT from Customs.

Should you receive such a letter ACTION IS REQUIRED.
