Tax efficient, by design

Our job is to make sure you pay the right amount of tax, and no more. We do that within the rules, month in and month out, not in a rush at deadline time.

Every allowable expense

Stock, premises, equipment, staff and running costs, claimed in full and properly recorded.

Every allowance and relief

Capital allowances on equipment, the right VAT scheme, and property allowances where they help.

The right structure

Sole trader, limited company or property company: we review what leaves you better off.

Expenses we make sure you claim

Every allowable expense you miss is money you hand to HMRC for no reason. Where costs are wholly and exclusively for your business, we claim them, and keep the records to back them up.

Which costs qualify, and how much, depends on your circumstances. We check what applies to you before we claim.

Good to know for your business

  • Mortgage interest. Individual landlords cannot deduct it as an expense. It gets a basic-rate tax reduction instead, and we make sure it is calculated correctly.
  • Property allowances. There is a £1,000 property allowance and a rent-a-room limit of £7,500. We use whichever is best for you.
  • Selling a property? Capital Gains Tax must be reported and paid within 60 days of completion. We prepare and file it. Get in touch before you sell.
  • VAT. Shops, cafes and event businesses may benefit from a retail or cash accounting scheme. See our VAT guide.
  • Enquiry-ready. Cash businesses and landlords are common targets for HMRC checks. See how we handle HMRC enquiries.

Tax and bookkeeping that grows with you

  • Monthly bookkeeping with every cost tracked as it happens
  • Self assessment, company accounts and VAT returns filed on time
  • Property income and expenses recorded for each property

Questions we are often asked

Can landlords deduct mortgage interest?

Not as an expense if you own personally. Instead, you receive a tax reduction based on the basic rate. If you own through a company, the rules differ. We review which route suits you.

What is the difference between a repair and an improvement?

A repair restores something to its previous condition and is an allowable expense. An improvement adds something new, and usually is not deductible against rent. We help you classify each cost.

Do I need to register for VAT as a cafe or shop?

Once your taxable sales over any 12 months pass the threshold, yes. Food and takeaway sales have specific VAT rules, so it is worth getting advice early.

Do you work with limited companies and property companies?

Yes. Limited companies get a tailored quote based on the work involved, and a company is never priced up simply for being limited.
