VAT Reclaim Services
Recover the VAT you’re owed. Faster, smarter, and more completely.
At Accountancy Business & Taxation Services (ABTS), we specialise in maximising VAT recovery for UK businesses. Using our exclusive bespoke VAT AI technology, we analyse years of financial data in minutes to identify legitimate reclaim opportunities that traditional manual reviews often miss.
Many businesses unknowingly leave significant sums on the table or overpay due to complex VAT rules. Our expert-led, technology-powered service ensures you recover what’s rightfully yours — compliantly and efficiently.
What is VAT Reclaim?
VAT reclaim involves recovering Value Added Tax that your business has paid but is entitled to recover from HMRC. While many businesses handle basic input tax recovery, more complex situations often result in missed claims or errors.
Common scenarios where businesses can recover VAT include:
- Standard input tax recovery on business purchases and expenses
- Partial exemption adjustments for businesses that make both taxable and exempt supplies
- Historic claims going back up to four years (and sometimes longer in specific cases)
- Overseas VAT recovery through schemes such as the EU VAT Refund Scheme or 13th Directive claims
- Specific industry reliefs including construction, motor vehicles, entertainment, and financial services
- Bad debt relief on unpaid invoices
- Capital Goods Scheme adjustments for significant assets
Why Many Businesses Miss Out
UK VAT legislation is detailed and frequently updated. Finance teams often lack the time or specialist resource to conduct deep, forensic reviews of historical transactions. As a result, opportunities go unnoticed and money remains tied up or permanently lost.
Our service changes that.
