FreeSole TraderBusinessProSumvra recommends. You decide.

VAT guidance before it becomes urgent

Know when VAT
may need attention.

Sumvra uses the sales saved in the business to give an early planning signal. It separates HMRC’s rolling 12-month test from the next-30-day test, then explains when it is sensible to speak to an accountant.

Read the current GOV.UK VAT registration guidance
01

Previous 12 months

Current HMRC guidance says a business must register when total taxable turnover for the last 12 months goes over £90,000.

02

Next 30 days

A separate rule applies when taxable turnover is expected to go over £90,000 in the next 30 days—for example because of a known contract or order.

03

A guided conversation

As the figures move closer, Sumvra can suggest preparing for VAT, reviewing the Business package and speaking to the accountant. The customer remains in control.

Planning guidance, not automatic action. Saved sales may include exempt or out-of-scope amounts that the customer or accountant must identify. Sumvra does not register the business, contact the accountant, change the subscription or charge the customer automatically.

A clean VAT handover

The customer records.
Sumvra prepares.
The accountant submits.

1CustomerSaves sales, purchases, VAT details, invoices and evidence.
2SumvraOrganises the digital records and prepares the draft VAT boxes and accountant workbook.
3AccountantChecks the evidence and specialist VAT matters, then enters and submits the approved figures through compatible filing software.

Sumvra saves preparation time and reduces avoidable back-and-forth. It never says a VAT Return has been filed.

Package level and storage choice are separate. Free, Sole Trader, Business or Pro describes the tools; these choices describe where the software and records are kept.

01Setup choice

Self-installation is included with no setup fee. Sumvra-assisted self-server installation is optional at £49 once.

02No usage surprises

Receipts, invoices and records do not create extra per-item charges. The customer sees the annual package price before agreeing.

03Grow now, price later

If Sumvra recommends Business or Pro and the customer accepts, the tools open immediately. The new annual price begins at the next renewal.

04Founding-price promise

The first accepted package price is held for the customer’s first two paid subscription years. A later package change uses its published price from the next renewal.

Your Sumvra package determines the tools you receive. Your installation choice determines where Sumvra and your information are kept. Free shows only the essential tabs. Each verified package opens its included tools and Sumvra explains what is new. Customers may choose Sole Trader early when they know they need MTD; they do not have to wait for a prompt. The same app unlocks the new dashboard after approval—there is no second manual installation. Nothing is charged or changed without the customer agreeing first.

Your information, your decision

Nothing leaves
without you.

You stay in control.

Sumvra does not automatically send your records to an accountant or HMRC. It helps you understand what is needed, prepares the information you choose and lets you decide what to export or share.

Clear guidance. Plain English. No accountant or HMRC jargon.
