Frequently asked questions
Why do restaurants need a specialist accountant rather than a general practitioner?
Restaurants face unique issues such as stock control, tips allocation, tronc schemes, VAT on mixed supplies and staff rotas. A specialist accountant understands these areas and can ensure compliance whilst identifying allowable expenses. General practitioners may lack this sector knowledge, potentially leading to missed savings or incorrect filings. Engaging a specialist helps optimise tax position and keeps the business compliant with HMRC rules.
What qualifications should I look for in an accountant for my restaurant?
Look for membership of recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW or AAT. These professionals are regulated and must follow strict ethical standards. They can handle tax returns, Corporation Tax, VAT and Self Assessment accurately. Check that the firm has experience in hospitality, as this ensures they understand your specific challenges and can provide proactive advice rather than just basic compliance.
How can an accountant help with VAT and Making Tax Digital?
An accountant can register your restaurant for VAT, choose the correct scheme and ensure digital records are kept as required by Making Tax Digital. They will submit VAT returns via compatible software, avoiding penalties. They can also advise on partial exemption and complex catering rules. This reduces administrative burden and ensures HMRC compliance, allowing you to focus on running the restaurant.
What records should a restaurant keep for tax purposes?
Keep all sales records, purchase invoices, bank statements, payroll details, till rolls and expense receipts. These are needed for Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and VAT returns. An accountant can advise on digital record-keeping and software. Good records support accurate filings and demonstrate compliance if HMRC enquires. Retain records for at least six years after the relevant accounting period.
Can an accountant help reduce my restaurant's tax bill legally?
Yes. A qualified accountant can identify allowable expenses, capital allowances on equipment, and tax-efficient remuneration for staff and owners. They can also advise on the best legal structure, such as limited company or partnership. By planning ahead, they help minimise liabilities within HMRC rules. This is not tax avoidance but sensible use of reliefs and allowances available to hospitality businesses.
