PRICING
Complexity sets the tier. Volume sets the discount.
Pricing is not based on your turnover. It is based on how much work is actually in the quarter, and on the size of the portfolio your practice sends us.
INTRODUCTORY OFFER
Try VAT Preparation Free — one completed historical quarter, reproduced at no charge.
- One completed historical VAT quarter per accounting practice.
- Subject to suitability, written scope and acceptance.
- Original source records must be supplied.
- No live VAT deadline depends on it.
- No payment card required.
- Your team assesses the pack against its own workings.
Starting prices
Per VAT return, + VAT. Complexity determines the tier — not turnover.
CORE / SIMPLE
For straightforward VAT records with clean source data and limited reconciliation.
STANDARD
For established clients with a broader mix of transactions, documents or reconciliation work.
COMMERCE
For e-commerce and marketplace clients requiring more detailed sales, purchase and platform reconciliation.
ADVANCED COMMERCE
For larger or more complex marketplace clients involving multiple channels, currencies, countries or heavier document workloads.
COMPLEX / ENTERPRISE
For unusually large, fragmented or judgement-heavy VAT workloads requiring extensive reconciliation, exception handling or document analysis.
£99 + VAT is the starting point for straightforward work. Marketplace and multi-currency preparation sits in a higher tier — the tier is confirmed from the records, and the fee is fixed before anything begins.
Final pricing depends on transaction volume, documents, marketplaces, currencies and complexity. A fixed quote is agreed before processing begins.
Accounting firms with recurring portfolios may qualify for volume partner pricing based on total quarterly VAT volume.
Turnaround is confirmed before processing begins and depends on the complexity of the case and completeness of the records supplied. Have an urgent deadline? Tell us when requesting a quote. We will confirm availability and expected turnaround after reviewing the case.
Volume partner pricing
Accounting firms with recurring VAT portfolios can access lower per-return pricing based on their total quarterly VAT volume.
Complexity determines the service tier. Portfolio volume determines the partner rate.
Your portfolio does not have to be one type of work. It can contain a mixture of Core, Standard, Commerce, Advanced Commerce and Complex clients. Each VAT return is classified individually according to its complexity, while your total quarterly VAT volume is taken into account when agreeing your partner rate.
- Each VAT return is classified individually by complexity.
- Your total quarterly VAT volume determines the partner rate that applies.
- A mixed portfolio qualifies — the tiers do not have to match.
- Partner rates are agreed in writing before any work begins.
A WORKED EXAMPLE
A practice sending 20 VAT returns in a quarter may have a mixture of Core, Standard, Commerce and Advanced clients. Each return is priced according to its complexity, while the firm's overall quarterly volume is taken into account when agreeing partner pricing.
WHAT SETS THE PRICE
- Transaction volume
- Purchase document volume
- Marketplaces
- Countries
- Currencies
- Record quality
- Reconciliation requirements
- Missing documents
- International VAT complexity
- Manual judgement and exceptions
Turnover is not one of them.
How partner billing works
Start with one historical VAT case free. First live jobs are normally paid upfront. As your relationship with Kiaraj grows, recurring work can be funded through a prepaid Partner Balance, reducing individual invoices and allowing accepted cases to move into production quickly.
Larger established partners may qualify for alternative payment arrangements.
The detail is in our payment FAQs.
TURNAROUND
Turnaround confirmed per case
Turnaround depends on the complexity of the VAT case and the completeness of the records supplied. We confirm the expected turnaround before processing begins.
Straightforward, complete cases can often move faster than complex or exception-heavy work, but no fixed SLA is published until the case has been reviewed.

- We do not give tax advice. We prepare and flag; professional judgement stays with the accountant.

Try VAT Preparation FreeWHICH TIER IS THIS CLIENT?
Answer three questions about one client.
Complexity is what sets the tier, so the fastest way to see where a client lands is to describe the work rather than the turnover.
INDICATIVE TIER
Standard
£119 + VAT per return
For established clients with a broader mix of transactions, documents or reconciliation work.
This is a starting point for a conversation, not a quote. The tier is confirmed when we look at the actual records, and the price is agreed in writing before anything begins. Partner rates depend on your total quarterly VAT volume and are agreed separately.
Your answers are carried across. Nothing is sent until you submit the form.
