Landlords face numerous challenges, often juggling property management, accounting, finances, taxes, and tenant relations all at once. It’s a demanding role that goes far beyond what many people might assume. But the good news is that landlords don’t have to manage all these responsibilities on their own. Our specialised accountants for landlords are here to help.

Allenby Accountants specialises in providing support for landlords, tackling the complexities of record-keeping and HMRC-related matters. Our experts offer advice that’s tailored to each client’s specific requirements and concerns.

Are you a landlord looking to save on taxes or ways to overcome your accounting woes? Keep reading for accounting tips from our property accountants:

Note all the possible incurred expenses this year.

List all deductible expenses to minimise taxes on rental income. These expenses include council tax, ground rent, service charges, mortgage payment interest, letting agents’ fees, maintenance, repairs, and accountant fees. If you’re too busy for this, our accountants for landlords can take care of everything.

Know about the basic rate tax band.

Are you and your partner Joint Tenants of your property? If there is an income gap, greater rental income can be allocated to one with a lower income to avoid the higher rate tax band.

Consider owning properties by incorporation.

The 2015 summer budget brought significant changes to the rental income’s tax structure from buy to let properties. Our accountants for landlords suggest owning properties via incorporation to maximise returns on buy-to-let investments. In addition, we can recommend tax-efficient ways to own property, such as joint ownership as tenants, individual ownership, LLP, limited company, or using a SIPP.

Claim LESA

Our accountants can help you claim the Landlord’s Energy Saving Allowance. It’s a claim against the money spent on energy efficiency efforts, like cavity wall or loft insulation, draught-proofing, and tank and pipe lagging.

Hotels are no strangers to economic and financial struggles, especially with the growing demand for AirBNBs and other issues like irregular cash inflows, compliance with legislation, and increasing competition. Moreover, these businesses are still reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As hotel accountants, our specialists here at Allenby Accountants can support hotel owners and hospitality specialists to survive these challenging times and gain the confidence to improve their finances.

As specialist accountants, we work with various clients in this industry. We have the credentials and capabilities to bring a wide range of solutions to simplify hotel accounting and bookkeeping. Plus, we offer other solutions to help with tax-related concerns and business financing. Here’s how we approach hotel accounting with our services:

• Set up individual targets – A successful business thrives on careful planning and goal-setting. Our hotel accountants work with hotel owners to set individual targets such as the cost per occupied room, projected revenue per room, and cost per available guestroom. They also assist in tracking cash inflows and outflows, using tools like Fluidly for daily, monthly, or weekly cash flow forecasting. This careful monitoring ensures sufficient funds are always on hand to meet payment obligations.

• Prepare accurate accounts – Proper record-keeping is essential to understand precisely where funds are coming and going. Allenby’s hotel accountants meticulously break down expenses and income, comparing them to previous periods and forecasts. We advocate for accurate transaction recording, allowing for a clear financial picture.

• Ensure compliance and smooth operations – Our specialist accountants can recommend the right software for accounting, bookkeeping, and taxes to ensure compliance with VAT and PAYE legislations. Online platforms like Proforecast can also boost operational efficiency as it supports labour projections, revenue forecasting, and capital planning. In addition, we can encourage spending on capital expenditure and claim capital allowances to maximise the value of expenditures.
