Accountants for property developers and builders

Building companies and small developers running projects across year ends.

• Work in progress, retentions and stage payments valued at the balance sheet date

• Whether a scheme is trading stock or an investment, which changes the tax entirely

• Zero rating on new build, the 5% reduced rate on qualifying conversions and where it is refused

• Site costs, plant and commercial vehicles claimed through capital allowances

• Funding, drawdowns and the cash forecast that lenders actually ask for

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.
