Dedicated schools services

 

We have helped a number of local authority maintained schools to recover VAT and resolve HMRC payroll queries.

 

Our services include:

·         Tax advice

·         VAT return and check services

·         Training staff on account payable system and record keeping

·         Also we can review your records for the past 4 years, to ensure that full VAT has been recovered where it is due. This can be arranged at a no win no fee basis, i.e. if we cannot find extra VAT to be recovered there is no cost to the school and fee is only payable when the school has received the extra VAT from HMRC.

 

At SZ Accounting and Tax Services we recognise the pressures faced by the head and the bursar, dealing with vast and wide responsibilities and in-addition expected to manage finance and tax efficiently. Managing finance and tax can be difficult, particularly with no proper support in place, and often can lead to tax and other financial penalties if not managed properly. Our experience shows that where the school has managed its tax affairs efficiently it benefited from cost savings and good cash-flow balances, and in-addition avoided wasting officer time in dealing with central queries such as HMRC inspection and general local authority inspections.

 

We have experience of dealing with key financial and tax issues faced by the schools, and provide help and support to build and maintain sound financial processes and practices at the school.

 

In our experience with local authority maintained schools, we have helped with a wide range of tax issues and the following areas may be of interest to your school:

 

o    Training bursars and admin staff on account payable system, record keeping and completing VAT returns, including when VAT can or cannot be recovered

o    Schools often complete late VAT returns and in some cases VAT returns are not completed at all. With quick and accurate VAT returns, schools can benefit from positive cash-flow and potential interest gains.

o    Tax Advice Service such as dealing with VAT and payroll query - often a simple mistake on employment status can have significant tax penalties for the school. The advice service can be a valuable support for the school.

 

With the current budget pressures and reduction in DfE funding it is important to ensure that the school’s admin processes are efficient to maximise its available resources. We can help by ensuring that the school’s tax affair is run smoothly and efficiently, particularly VAT.

 

With the VAT at 20%, it can go a great deal in maximising available limited resources; for every £120k spent the school can potentially recover £20K.

 

 

Please call or email us for further information or to arrange a free consultative meeting.
