What do UK Farmers need to know about VAT?

VAT can be a complex area for farming businesses, particularly when different rules can apply to different types of income and expenditure.

Knowing how the rules apply to your farming business can help you avoid unexpected issues and make informed decisions. Whether it’s VAT registration, reclaiming VAT on costs or understanding the VAT implications of land, property & diversification.

Our latest blog looks at some of the key VAT considerations farmers need to be aware of.

If you have questions about VAT and how it applies to your farming or agricultural business, get in touch with the Lewis Brownlee team.

A great day at the Portsmouth Business Expo! 📍

Vicki Smith and David Best had a brilliant day at the Village Hotel last week, meeting businesses from across Portsmouth and the surrounding area.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Lewis Brownlee stand for a chat and to those who put their pinpoint precision to the test on our challenge! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

It was great to make some new connections, catch up with familiar faces and hear more about what’s happening across our local business community.

Could VAT grouping simplify VAT accounting for your business?

If you have multiple companies under common control, bringing them together under a VAT group could help simplify administration, reduce the need to account for VAT on transactions between group members and provide cash flow benefits.

However, VAT grouping is not right for every business and there are important considerations to weigh up before applying.

In our latest blog, we explain what VAT grouping is, who can form a VAT group and some of the key benefits and risks to consider.

If you would like to discuss whether VAT grouping could be suitable for your business, get in touch with the Lewis Brownlee team.

As well as meeting new faces, the team enjoyed taking part in a variety of workshops throughout the day and hearing from other local businesses and speakers.

A big thank you to the Chamber for bringing everyone together and to everyone who took the time to chat with the team.

A little throwback to a great afternoon of mini golf!

Last month, Lewis Brownlee attended the Chichester & District Law Society mini golf event at Chichester Golf Club.

Events like these are a great reminder of just how valuable it is to get out of the office and connect with others in our local professional community. Whether it’s catching up with familiar faces, making new connections or simply sharing experiences, there’s always something to take away from getting together.

Of course, a little friendly competition doesn’t hurt either!

A big thank you to Chichester district law society for organising the event and to Chichester Golf Club for hosting us. We had a fantastic afternoon and are already practising our swing ready for the next one!
