VAT review

Every line on the return, checked before you see it.

The deterministic checks run first, in full. The AI review only looks at what the rules flagged, plus a sample.

VAT claimed with no invoice

Input tax on a transaction with nothing attached, over your threshold.

Rate inconsistent with account

Tax treatment that doesn't match the account's usual default.

Same supplier, different treatment

One supplier coded two ways inside the same period.

Duplicate transactions

Same supplier and amount within three days.

Out-of-period items

Transactions dated outside the period but sitting in the return.

VAT total doesn't match net × rate

Arithmetic checked line by line, within tolerance.

Missing supplier VAT number

Where input tax is claimed and the gross is over £250.

Exempt and zero-rated misclassifications

Insurance, bank charges, rent, postage, travel, books.

0 transactions reviewed in 4 minutes

A typical quarter for a single VAT-registered client. Illustrative.

Trust and control

Nothing is posted without a human.

Every decision logged

Who did what, and when, append-only.

Confidence on every suggestion

A score and the reasoning behind it.

Drafts, never live postings

Nothing is authorised until you approve it.

Exportable review log

PDF and CSV for your working papers.

Data stored in the UK · Encrypted at rest and in transit · Tokens never leave our servers · DPA available

Who it's for

Accounting practices

Firms with 5 to 200 staff running monthly bookkeeping and quarterly VAT for a portfolio of owner-managed businesses. TideOut takes the preparation off your seniors and leaves them the review.

Bookkeepers

Bookkeeping practices that live in the ledger every day and get judged on accuracy. TideOut keeps reconciliation current and catches the treatment errors before the accountant does.
