Frequently asked questions
Why do restaurants need a specialist accountant?
Restaurants face unique tax rules on tips, service charges and VAT, plus complex payroll and stock accounting. A specialist accountant understands these issues and can help you claim the right expenses, manage cash flow and stay compliant with HMRC. They also advise on licensing and business rates, which can save you money and reduce stress.
What qualifications should I look for in a restaurant accountant?
Look for professionals regulated by ACCA, ICAEW or AAT. These bodies ensure members meet strict ethical and technical standards. A qualified accountant can handle Corporation Tax, VAT returns and Self Assessment accurately. They should also have experience in hospitality, so they understand your sector's specific challenges and can offer practical, relevant advice.
How can an accountant help with HMRC investigations?
If HMRC queries your tax return or launches an investigation, a qualified accountant can act on your behalf. They will prepare the necessary records, correspond with HMRC and negotiate any penalties. Having a professional in your corner ensures your rights are protected and that the process is handled correctly, reducing the risk of costly mistakes.
Do I need to use Making Tax Digital for VAT?
Yes, if your restaurant is VAT-registered and your turnover exceeds the threshold, you must use compatible software to keep digital records and submit VAT returns under Making Tax Digital. An accountant can recommend software, set up your systems and ensure your filings are accurate and on time, helping you avoid penalties.
What records should a restaurant keep for tax purposes?
You should keep all sales records, purchase invoices, bank statements, payroll details and VAT records for at least six years. An accountant can advise on the best software to streamline this. Accurate record-keeping makes it easier to complete tax returns, claim allowable expenses and demonstrate compliance if HMRC asks questions.
How do I choose the right accountant for my restaurant?
Start by browsing a reputable directory like AccountingFirms, which lists verified, regulated accountants. Compare their experience with restaurants, check their qualifications (ACCA, ICAEW, AAT) and read client reviews. Request quotes and ask about their services, fees and availability. A good fit will understand your business and communicate clearly.
