What can you expect?
We provide practical, proactive VAT support that not only ensures compliance but also helps improve your cash flow and maximise any available VAT reliefs.
VAT Registration
If your business needs to register for VAT, we’ll handle the full process for you. We’ll advise you on the most appropriate scheme for your business and ensure your registration is completed correctly and promptly.
VAT Returns
Our team prepares and submits your VAT returns on your behalf, ensuring full compliance with HMRC and Making Tax Digital requirements.
VAT Recovery
We review your expenses and processes to ensure you’re reclaiming the maximum VAT available. Often, small changes in how expenses are recorded or categorised can make a significant difference.

Each sector has its own rules and exemptions. We provide tailored VAT advice across a wide range of industries, including construction, property, healthcare, education, and not-for-profit organisations.
HMRC Enquiries & Inspections
If HMRC contacts you with queries or initiates an inspection, we can manage the process directly on your behalf.
VAT Planning
We go beyond compliance, helping you plan ahead, structure transactions efficiently, and identify opportunities to reduce costs while remaining fully compliant.

What our clients says
Appleby Mall were by my side during the purchase of my manufacturing business for vintage and classic car business. The whole transaction went smoothly and I was very impressed with the way the team professionally supported me through it. Over the last 18 years, Appleby Mall have organised my accounts, payroll and advice has been on hand whenever needed.
Dave Wood, Orson Equipment Limited
We’ve used Appleby Mall’s advice extensively in the past 16 years. They’ve advised us through a management buy-out and our conversion from paper based accounting to full use of the Xero system. They’ve worked with us to make the most of Xero’s functions, including reporting and reviewing profitability. The team also carry out bookkeeping, payroll and personal tax advice. They certainly feel like part of our team.

We’ve worked with Appleby Mall for 5 years now. Appleby Mall have helped us with a lot in this time including guidance on our group structure, asset protection, tax planning and Sage. As a growing national business, it’s important for us to have a good team supporting us. Appleby Mall is that team and they have helped us in many ways. We thoroughly recommend their services.

We are a busy family run business which has been around for over 30 years. For the past 16 years, Appleby Mall have been supporting us to reduce our tax bills and structure the business. The team are extremely helpful and we would recommend them to anyone going into business.
Mick & Paul Gower, J & M Tubes Limited
Appleby Mall helped reduce our complicated foreign tax bill by a substantial amount! We rate the team very highly and have found them to be friendly, professional and helpful – particularly with Xero, which is very user friendly but still occasionally needs the benefit of an expert user such as the team at Appleby Mall. We've been with Appleby Mall for 5 years - and the money we've saved means we will continue to work with them in the future.
Nigel Espin, Espin Hanson Limited
Appleby Mall are invaluable to my business. They have taken away the stress involved in keeping my accounts up to date. Not only do they look after my full accounts, they have also helped me look into ways to reduce my tax bill. I also use Xero and would recommend it to anyone in business.
