VAT returns need to be filed online

A reminder to let you know that since 1 April 2010 most VAT registered businesses had to file their VAT returns online and pay any VAT owed electronically. From April 2012 this will be mandatory for all. At A&C Chartered Accountants we can file VAT returns online for you and advise you the best method to pay your VAT.
