Frequently asked questions
Why do restaurants need a specialist accountant rather than a general practitioner?
Restaurants face unique issues such as VAT on mixed food and drink supplies, tronc systems for tips, and high staff turnover. A specialist accountant understands these areas and can advise on stock valuation, menu costing, and HMRC compliance for hospitality. General practitioners may lack this sector knowledge, leading to missed savings or incorrect filings.
What qualifications should I look for when choosing an accountant for my restaurant?
Look for members of recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications ensure the professional meets strict ethical and technical standards. They can handle Corporation Tax, VAT returns, Self Assessment, and payroll accurately. You should also check they have experience with HMRC investigations and Making Tax Digital for hospitality businesses.
How can an accountant help with VAT and Corporation Tax for a restaurant?
An accountant ensures VAT is calculated correctly on food, alcohol, and service charges, avoiding overpayment or penalties. For Corporation Tax, they identify allowable expenses like kitchen equipment, rent, and staff costs. They also advise on the best time to register for VAT and how to claim capital allowances, keeping your tax bill lawful and minimised.
What records should a restaurant keep for Self Assessment and HMRC purposes?
Keep daily sales records, purchase invoices, payroll details, bank statements, and VAT receipts. HMRC requires these for at least six years. An accountant can help set up digital record-keeping compatible with Making Tax Digital. Accurate records simplify Self Assessment and reduce the risk of an HMRC enquiry or unexpected tax demand.
Can an accountant assist with payroll and pension auto-enrolment for restaurant staff?
Yes. Accountants manage payroll for full-time, part-time, and casual workers, including calculating PAYE, National Insurance, and pension contributions. They handle auto-enrolment duties, tip distribution via tronc, and statutory payments. This ensures HMRC compliance and avoids penalties, whilst freeing restaurant owners to focus on daily operations and customer service.
