In addition to producing annual accounts, we will give solid advice on how best to structure your business, and avoid the pitfalls of tax and VAT.

Here are the specialist services we provide:

Stud Farmers

  • Preparing budgets and cash flow projections
  • VAT calculations, and rolling tax planning
  • Bloodstock Valuations
  • Inland Revenue enquiries and inspections

Investment Breeders

These are bloodstock owners who keep their stock elsewhere, and we help by obtaining tax relief against other income.

We are happy to work alongside their mainstream accountant.


Jockeys

We give sensible guidance on how to make the most of tax breaks, and you will always find our advice easy to understand. For example:

  • How to take advantage of VAT registration
  • Explaining whether to switch to "Limited Company" status
  • Handling all compliance with Inland Revenue & Companies House
  • Analysing Weatherbys statements
  • How best to save towards future taxation
  • Help with sponsorship arrangements

We are always able to adapt to your own working hours.

Overseas Owners

We operate a VAT service to Racehorse Owners abroad, who have horses trained in the UK.

We can explain the benefits of VAT registration (even if your interest is only 50% of a racehorse) and we handle all aspects of:

  • Application to the UK authorities
  • Sponsorship arrangements, to ensure qualification to reliefs
  • Calculation of quarterly VAT returns
  • Representing you at VAT inspections
  • Liaison with trainers, to give a smoother running service

Racehorse Trainers

Balancing the books is the greatest challenge for a Trainer, and we help by providing regular cover:

  • Preparing financial reports to the bank
  • Liaising with secretarial staff
  • Maintaining better debtors control

Also we can design a prospectus to encourage existing patrons to finance your expansion plans, through the available Enterprise Investment Schemes.

Other Professionals in the Industry

We are keen to act for:

  • Bloodstock Agents
  • Syndicates & Racing Clubs
  • Journalists & professional tipping services
  • Veterinary practices, Farriers & Racehorse Transporters

Each client will receive our full attention.


Foothold in Ireland

We have a growing number of clients in Ireland, and prepare their accounts for lodging with the Revenue Authorities.

We can form Limited Companies through our associates in Dublin, and can file online tax & VAT returns through our associates in Cork.

A day trip to Ireland can be as straightforward as our routine meetings throughout the UK.

We recognise the importance of making regular
visits to all clients, in order to fully appreciate the individual design of their business.
