Our Full Reclaim Service

This is by far our most popular service where we take your paperwork from stored in a bin bag to filed with a spreadsheet and put together your reclaim for submitting to HMRC. In most cases clients post their claims in to us although we do offer to collect your documents if you request, alternatively your welcome to call with us. When you have completed your building project you must submit a VAT reclaim within 3 months of the building work being finished. We make the process very simple, hassle and stress free for you. Do not worry about where you are in the UK in relation to us, if you qualify for the DIY scheme, we actively service your area. From the content of your paperwork, we will return any documents that are not required to process your reclaim. We will point out and act upon any documents that will not be acceptable to HMRC by contacting your supplier on your behalf and attempt to get this corrected prior to submission to HMRC. We will do this for you - this can be one of the most difficult & challenging aspects of processing the reclaim, but it is all part of the service. we then proceed to prepare the claim for submission to HMRC in their preferred and agreed format. We currently process claims in about a week. The claim is then ready to submit (this can take longer where we need information or assistance from your suppliers). The majority of clients request we post the claims directly to HMRC on your behalf. If this is also your request, we will submit it using Royal Mail Special Delivery and insure your claim for £10,000.00. Now it may well be that your claim is for a higher amount but this is the most you can insure a package for and I am quite sure Royal Mail will be taking great care of a package carrying this amount of insurance. After submission HMRC will write to confirm its receipt and will probably ask some questions. We will either assist you in answering or answer on your behalf, depending on the exact question. Appeasing HMRC at this point is one of the main challenges we face when processing these types of claims. You can only claim the once, so its important to get it right the first time. HMRC normally process claims in 6 weeks and refunds are paid directly into your bank account. Feel free to call and discuss. There is no charge for a consultation, call Andrew direct on the mobile number above and this can be outside of normal working hours, he would be glad to chat.

"I can't thank Andrew and his team enough. His advice and help to do our VAT return was the difference between getting a refund and not! He was more than happy to keep helping once the return was submitted and effectively they had finished their part. Initially, I thought I would do the return myself, I do the VAT for my business - it can't be that hard! Thank goodness I received a letter telling me

about the service Andrew Jones (The Vatman) Ltd offers. I highly recommend Andrew and his team."
