Frequently Asked Questions

Is education VAT exempt?
Education and vocational training provided by eligible bodies (schools, universities, charities) is generally exempt from VAT. However, not all educational activities qualify, and exemption can create issues with input VAT recovery. We advise on the scope of exemption and help you recover VAT where possible.
Do you prepare academy trust accounts?
Yes, we prepare accounts for academy trusts in compliance with the Academies Accounts Direction, including the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA), balance sheet, and all required disclosures. We also handle the ESFA Academies Financial Return and internal scrutiny requirements.
Can you help with charity accounting?
Absolutely. We prepare accounts under the Charities SORP (FRS 102), handle Charity Commission annual returns, and advise on Gift Aid, trading subsidiary structures, and the tax reliefs available to charitable organisations.
