Frequently asked questions

Can you help with mixed VAT rates?
Yes. We can work with your EPOS or product list to ensure that the correct VAT codes are used and that your VAT returns are accurate.
Do you advise on pharmacy contracts or clinical matters?
No, we focus on accounting and tax. You'll still need your usual professional body and clinical advisers for regulated aspects.
Can you separate prescription vs. retail sales?
Where your data supports it, we can show separate streams in your management information and accounts for clarity.
