Frequently asked questions
Why do restaurants need specialist accountants rather than general practitioners?
Restaurants face unique issues such as VAT on food and drink, tip distribution, stock valuation and payroll for casual staff. Specialist accountants understand these complexities and can advise on allowable expenses, capital allowances for kitchen equipment, and making tax digital. They also help analyse profitability per dish or site, ensuring you fulfil HMRC obligations whilst improving margins and cash flow.
What qualifications should I look for in an accountant for my restaurant?
Look for members of recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW or AAT. These professionals have passed rigorous exams and follow ethical standards. They can handle tax returns, Corporation Tax, VAT and Self Assessment, and stay updated with HMRC rules. Verified credentials give confidence that your accountant is regulated and competent to support your hospitality business.
How can an accountant help with VAT and Corporation Tax for a restaurant?
An accountant ensures you are correctly VAT-registered and apply the right rates to food, drink and services. They calculate Corporation Tax liabilities, claim allowable deductions, and file returns on time. They also advise on VAT schemes such as flat rate or cash accounting, which can simplify reporting and improve cash flow for restaurants with seasonal trade.
What records should a restaurant keep for tax purposes?
Keep daily sales records, purchase invoices, payroll records, bank statements and VAT receipts. Also retain details of stock, tips, and capital purchases. HMRC requires these records for at least six years. An accountant can help organise digital bookkeeping and ensure your records meet Making Tax Digital requirements, reducing stress during tax return preparation.
Can an accountant assist with Self Assessment for restaurant owners?
Yes. If you are a sole trader or partner, you must file a Self Assessment tax return. An accountant prepares the return, calculates your liability, and submits it to HMRC by the deadline. They also identify allowable expenses, such as uniforms, ingredients and travel, ensuring you pay the correct amount without overpaying.
