Self employed builders & tradesmen

Specialist accountants for Builders & Tradesmen

As a self-employed builder or tradesman the following questions are just some of the questions your accountant should discuss with you:

  • Are you claiming all the expenses you are entitled to?
  • Is it best to claim fixed rate deductions, actual expenses, or a hybrid of the two?
  • Is there any scope for using family members to reduce tax?
  • Should you trade as a limited company?
  • How do you maximise tax relief on losses, particularly in the early years?
  • Is it advantageous for you to use cash accounting or accrual accounting?
  • What is the best way of claiming for vehicle costs?
  • Could VAT registration be beneficial? Is it mandatory?
  • Are you ready for making Tax Digital (MTD)?
