Common questions
About vat health check.
Does the review include fixing every issue?
No. You receive findings and an action plan; corrective bookkeeping or filings are separately scoped.
Is the review fee automatically credited?
No. There is no general health-check credit. The separate document-readiness credit applies only to the qualifying amount actually paid for that review.
Can you review selected periods?
Yes. The proposal defines the periods and checks needed for your concern. No fixed number of quarters is assumed.
How is the fee confirmed?
The fee table distinguishes fixed standard services, starting fees and work requiring a quote. We agree the deliverables, responsibilities and any external charges before you proceed.
