FAQS

WHY DO TRAVEL AND TRANSPORT BUSINESSES NEED SPECIALIST ACCOUNTANTS?

ATOL protects consumers booking package holidays and flights. ATOL accountants help businesses meet reporting requirements and remain compliant with ATOL regulations.

WHAT IS TOMS VAT AND WHO DOES IT APPLY TO?

TOMS VAT (Tour Operators Margin Scheme) applies to businesses selling travel services as principals. TC Group can advise on the Tour Operators Margin Scheme, ensuring accurate calculations and compliance.

HOW DOES VAT TRAVEL DIFFER FROM STANDARD VAT?

VAT travel has unique rules depending on whether services are supplied in the UK, EU, or internationally. TC Group can help ensure VAT is applied correctly across different jurisdictions.
