Accountants for hotels and guest houses

Independent hotels, B&Bs and serviced accommodation operators.

• Room revenue, booking platform commission and channel manager data reconciled to the bank

• Deposits and advance bookings held as deferred income until the stay

• Capital allowances on fixtures, fit-out and integral features, often understated

• Seasonal payroll, casual staff and auto-enrolment through peak months

• Business rates, licensing and insurance built into a realistic cash forecast

Whatever the sector, the company must file accounts with Companies House nine months after the accounting reference date, file a CT600 within twelve months of the period end, pay corporation tax nine months and one day after the period end, and file a confirmation statement each year.

Once taxable turnover passes £90,000 in a rolling 12 months, VAT registration and Making Tax Digital filing follow. Employing anyone, including a director on a salary, brings PAYE, RTI reporting and auto-enrolment pensions.

Thresholds, rates and deadlines quoted here reflect the 2026/27 UK position. Check current GOV.UK guidance, or ask us, before you rely on them for your own company.

We agree the scope and monthly fee before starting, set up bookkeeping that fits how you invoice and buy, and send reminders ahead of every filing date.

You get plain answers to sector questions in normal language, and we say clearly when something needs specialist advice rather than guessing.
