§ FOR — ACCOUNTANTS & BOOKKEEPERS
Stamp every supplier on intake. Audit-ready PDFs filed straight to client folder.
You log dozens of new suppliers per client per quarter. HMRC penalties for invalid VAT reclaims hit the practice, not the client.
For: practice owners, audit seniors, tax managers

§ 02 — THE FLOW
01
Receive supplier invoice from client
02
Run VAT number through Countersure (1 second)
03
PDF stamped with date, source (HMRC), and verification ID
04
File to client cabinet — full evidence trail for HMRC enquiry
§ RISK NOTE
HMRC can deny input VAT claims if the supplier is not VAT-registered. Practices have been hit with assessments running into five figures.
“We were spending 30 minutes per audit cross-checking suppliers. Countersure cut it to under a minute.”
