What changed this month?

You are £4,800 closer to the VAT threshold than last month. Review expected sales and prepare early.

Most VAT threshold problems happen before the business owner realises there is a problem.

You may be at risk if you have had a strong few months of sales, are close to £70k-£90k turnover, only check figures at year-end, or use bank balance or profit instead of rolling taxable turnover.

Invatax keeps the right number visible in one dashboard, so you can plan pricing, cash flow, and accountant conversations before VAT becomes stressful.

Designed for sole traders, limited companies, and growing service businesses that want peace of mind before VAT becomes urgent.

Why businesses accidentally cross the VAT threshold

Most VAT problems start with confusion, not carelessness.

Rolling 12 months, not tax year

VAT registration is based on any rolling 12-month period, not just your accounting year.

Busy months can change everything

One strong quarter, large contract, or seasonal peak can move you much closer than expected.

Late registration can be expensive

Missing the point where registration becomes due can create backdated VAT and stressful admin.

Numbers need interpretation

Invatax shows what the figures mean, whether to stay calm, watch closely, or take action.

Who Invatax is for

Invatax is built for UK businesses that are growing but not yet VAT registered.

  • Sole traders and small limited companies
  • Currently under or near £90,000 annual taxable turnover
  • Growing quickly or having unpredictable sales months
  • Using spreadsheets, bank balance, or guesswork to track sales
  • Not for businesses already comfortably VAT registered
  • Not for businesses needing full accounting software

How Invatax works

Three simple steps to make VAT threshold monitoring part of your monthly routine.

1

Add your business type

Choose your trade so the dashboard guidance feels relevant to your work.

2

Enter or sync sales

Add monthly taxable turnover manually, or use Connected for Xero and QuickBooks syncing.

3

Understand your VAT position

See your rolling total, VAT risk level, forecast, next action, and what changed this month.

Why checking early matters

Invatax lowers the fear by showing what to do next before VAT registration becomes urgent.

Avoid rushed registration

Spot warning signs before you need to register, adjust prices, or speak to your accountant under pressure.

Monitor clients approaching £90k

Use Invatax as a simple early-warning dashboard for growing businesses.

Built by an accountant who works with real small businesses

Invatax is built around a real problem seen in practice: business owners often do not realise how close they are to the VAT threshold until the deadline is already stressful.

It is not trying to replace Xero, QuickBooks, or your accountant. It is focused on one clear job: helping UK small businesses understand VAT threshold risk before it becomes expensive.

That means calm guidance, simplified HMRC concepts, and practical next steps.

Questions before you start

Short answers for business owners deciding whether Invatax fits how they work.

Is Invatax accounting advice?

No. Invatax is software that helps you monitor VAT threshold risk. It does not replace advice from an accountant or tax adviser.

Can I use it if I am not VAT registered?

Yes. It is designed especially for businesses approaching the VAT threshold who want to avoid surprises.

What is the difference between Essential and Connected?

Essential is for manual monthly entry. Connected adds Xero and QuickBooks syncing for businesses that want less manual admin.

What happens if I go over the threshold?

The dashboard shows the first month your current rolling 12-month window crossed the threshold, so you know when to speak to your accountant.

How can there be a risk level if figures are monthly?

The VAT Risk Level is a simple confidence indicator based on your rolling 12-month turnover, recent trend, distance from the threshold, and how recently you updated your figures.
