I would wholeheartedly recommend Centurion VAT consultants, Centurion has a long standing relationship with Monmouthshire County Council after procuring their services initially in 2006. During this time Centurion have assisted successfully in a number of one off projects and also run a vat management program which includes monthly meetings to discuss the current vat issues facing the authority.

Joy Robson,

This course is an essential tool in the development field. An awareness of the impact of VAT regulation has led the development team to ask the right questions at the right time, saving considerable amounts on capital expenditure

Richard Mann MRICS,

Director of Development

United Welsh Housing Association
We use Centurion as our in-house VAT resource. They assist us with our VAT returns, Intrastat and EC Sales lists and in undertaking regular compliance checks to ensure that any VAT risk is minimised.

Mitel Networks Ltd
St David’s Hospice needed VAT advice on a new project. I was so pleased when I rang Centurion, immediately spoke to Julie who grasped the situation quickly and efficiently. She came to see me within a couple of days and has given excellent advice and support, through what was a complex situation for us. We are now working together to gain further advice on issues that affect us as a charity. I have also been pleased to recommend Centurion to other Hospice CEO’s.

Emma Saysell,

Hospice CEO

St David’s foundation
We first contacted Centurion in 2007 and appointed them to provide VAT training. Since then they have provided VAT advice on a number of key issues specific to FE colleges plus further training to staff. I have always found them responsive, professional and easy to deal with.
