Sorting receipts, tracking expenses, and filing Self Assessment returns quickly becomes overwhelming when you'd rather focus on your customers and growing your business. At Simply Accounts, we take care of the numbers for you. From bookkeeping, CIS, VAT, tax returns, HMRC queries, and more. We handle everything so you can run your business with less stress and more confidence. With clear guidance, organised records, and friendly support whenever you need it, you're never left to manage the admin alone.

Standard VAT rate: 20% - Your B2B Customers who are VAT-registered can reclaim the VAT that they pay you, so your pricing does not affect them. - Residential Customers are not VAT registered so you can either: a. Charge VAT on top of your price (customer pays extra) b. Absorb the VAT yourself (keep residential pricing the same) ## FAQs Do I need an accountant as a sole trader or partnership? You're responsible for filing tax returns and keeping accurate records. We take care of the whole process so you stay compliant without the stress. What expenses can I claim? We'll guide you through everything – home office, mileage, tools, subscriptions, and allowances – so you don't miss out. Do I need VAT or CIS? We'll check your turnover and let you know. If you need to register, we'll handle it all. For construction businesses, we manage CIS setup, verification, and monthly returns. How much tax will I owe this year? We'll estimate your bills in advance so you can put money aside and plan with confidence. Can you register me as a sole trader or partnership? Yes. We'll manage your HMRC registration and set up your bookkeeping properly from the start. How do I switch from another accountant? We'll contact your previous accountant, arrange the handover, and take over submissions smoothly. ## Pricing Your tailored package sets the level of service and support that’s right for you.
