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.
VAT registration is based on any rolling 12-month period, not just your accounting year.
One strong quarter, large contract, or seasonal peak can move you much closer than expected.
Missing the point where registration becomes due can create backdated VAT and stressful admin.
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.
Add your business type
Choose your trade so the dashboard guidance feels relevant to your work.
Enter or sync sales
Add monthly taxable turnover manually, or use Connected for Xero and QuickBooks syncing.
Understand your VAT position
See your rolling total, VAT risk level, forecast, next action, and what changed this month.
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.
Built from real VAT threshold conversations
Invatax was created after seeing UK small business owners repeatedly approach the VAT threshold without knowing how close they were. The goal is simple: make the rolling 12-month VAT position visible before registration becomes urgent.

Awareness, not bookkeeping

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.
Find out how close you are to the VAT threshold in under 2 minutes.
Start tracking your VAT turnover today and make the threshold visible before it becomes urgent.
