A small business tax accountant brings company and owner taxes into one plan: Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE, dividends, pensions and Self Assessment. We handle filings, explain available reliefs and model technical choices before they are implemented rather than after the return is due.
Limited companies can face Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE, employer National Insurance and tax reporting for benefits, while directors may also need Self Assessment. Sole traders report business profit personally and may need VAT, PAYE and payments on account.
Compliance reports transactions that already happened. Advice compares lawful options before a contract, investment, dividend, property purchase or restructure. Technical advice is based on the complete facts and confirmed in a separate written scope where appropriate.
Relevant claims may include capital allowances on equipment, employer pension contributions, qualifying business expenses, loss relief and specific innovation or investment reliefs. Eligibility and timing must be checked rather than assumed from a headline rule.
VAT errors often arise from overseas services, mixed rates, marketplace rules and net settlement postings. Payroll risks include late RTI, benefits, director National Insurance and pension duties. Reconciled monthly records help catch both early.
Rates, thresholds and deadlines quoted here reflect the current UK position and current HMRC and Companies House guidance. Check GOV.UK, or ask us, before relying on them for your own business.

Google reviews
“Accotax have been our accountants for many years now. We maintained them because of their professionalism. In the last couple of years I have been working with Imran, who has been very professional and helpful in guiding us through the whole process, explaining and clarifying every aspect of it. Very prompt in responding to questions and patient with us even when we seem to be slow.”
“We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.”
“I've been working with Accotax since January 2024, and their support has grown alongside my business needs. My personal allocated manager, Umer, provides tailored services for both of my companies, adapting as I expand and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always clear in their communication. Their help with accounts, VAT, payrolls, pensions and compliance gives me real confidence and peace of mind.”
