VAT Loan - What You Need to Know

VAT, or value-added tax, is a tax added to goods and services within the EU. Businesses that sell goods or services most often add VAT to the price of their products and services. If a business is struggling to pay their VAT, they may wish to consider a VAT loan, also referred to as VAT loan finance.

What is a VAT loan?

A VAT loan can help businesses who are unable to pay their taxes on time and prevents a business from incurring fees or penalties from HMRC. A loan can also help businesses prepare for upcoming payments and improve their cash flow.

Top benefits of VAT lending:

Future proof:

A VAT bridging loan helps to future proof your business against any unforeseen circumstances. For example, if machinery suddenly breaks or your property require essential maintenance work, a VAT loan ensures you can pay for any important business expenses and still pay your VAT on time.

Flexibility:

Instead of paying your VAT at once, a VAT bridging loan allows you to divide your VAT into reasonable monthly instalments. This will help a business to manage their cash flow more effectively and will give them greater control and transparency over their finances.

Quick & Straightforward:

Applying for a VAT loan in the UK is simple and straight forward, helping you to simplify your business tax and expenses quickly and efficiently.

Potential limitations of a VAT bridging loan:

  • If you apply and are approved for a UK VAT loan, you will be expected to make the agreed monthly payments. If you fail to make the monthly repayments, you may receive additional charges.
