What is a property accountant?
Property accountants provide various tax and accounting services to landlords, real estate investors and property-based businesses. Working with a reputable accountancy firm that specialises in the property sector will ensure your property business is compliant, financially up-to-date and saves as much tax as legally possible.
At Archimedia, we know a lot about the business side of real estate, being avid investors ourselves. So we understand what is needed to build a large portfolio of commercial and residential properties and, make your property business a growing success.
How does property accounting work?
Ultimately, property accounting works by ensuring that you are compliant with Government authorities and making better tax savings. There are many ways that tax and accounting services can help your business.
Limited company
If you are a limited company, we’ll help you ensure that accounts are submitted to Companies House every year, along with an annual confirmation statement, make relevant updates to the share structure and company changes, and ensure full accounts and company tax returns are submitted to HMRC every year. We’ll also ensure the accounts are made according to accounting standards.
Sole trader
If you are a sole trader or a partnership, our property accounting services are about helping you stay compliant with HMRC by taking financial information and putting it in the correct places on the tax returns.
We’ll also support you with bookkeeping, ensuring all the information regarding your property business transactions is reported correctly and according to accounting standards.
Compliance also spans running a payroll scheme if you have employees or if you or your family members will save tax by doing so. Running the payroll scheme ensures you comply with PAYE and NI regulations. It also ensures you are aware of all the various tax regulations that you may need to comply with. For example, VAT can apply to property businesses in specific scenarios.
As your property accountants, we’ll ensure you have up-to-date information on your various properties so you know how much each property is making.
Tax planning
We are also extremely keen to help you with tax planning. This means saving as much tax as legally possible now and in the future.
Tax law is vast, and with firsthand knowledge of the property sector, we will be able to work alongside you to fully understand your property business and your family’s personal situation. Then we can begin to holistically save you as much tax as legally possible – structuring your finances for future tax savings. Making us aware of your 3, 5, and even 10-year plans may help you save tens of thousands of pounds in tax in the future.
