The VAT recovery solution

For more than a decade, Kieran Lynch & Co have been supporting care providers through VAT recovery. Over that period managing director Jock Waugh and his team have returned more than £50 million in net benefits to the sector.

With years of experience in VAT recovery under the Kingscrest ruling and Contract Restructuring, Kieran Lynch’s expertise is on the restructuring of welfare services to allow care providers the opportunity to improve their trading positions by being VAT efficient.

Since it was introduced in 1973, Value Added Tax has been a significant headwind for care providers but Kieran Lynch, working with banks, accountants, lawyers, agents and other intermediaries across the sector, can enable providers to claim back part of their VAT expenditure within the existing legislative framework, meaning that something which has hitherto been seen as a burden, has now become a solution.

When providers need to improve, we can guide service turnaround with support and training. We can even provide emergency management for services without day-to-day leadership during times of urgent action, and support with the recruitment of your new registered manager.
 
We also love to help good services push themselves further and maximise their potential ratings. We can support you in gathering evidence, helping managers and staff gain confidence and getting the best out of your next CQC inspection.
