Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Switching accountants
Changing accountant is simpler than most people fear. You authorise the new firm, which writes to the old one for professional clearance and your records; the outgoing accountant must hand over your own documents and usually does within two weeks. The new firm registers as your agent with HMRC and picks up the next filing. There is no need to wait for a year end.
Closing a company
A solvent company that has finished its purpose can be dissolved by voluntary strike-off: form DS01 with a £13 Companies House fee, after three months without trading and with all debts paid, final accounts and tax return filed, and assets distributed. HMRC objects to any application where returns or tax are outstanding, so the sequence matters more than the form.
Crypto records and reporting
Most crypto holders have taxable events they do not recognise, because every swap is a disposal even when no pounds change hands. The computation requires the complete transaction history from every exchange and wallet, pooled by asset with HMRC's matching rules applied. Exchange-generated tax reports are frequently wrong because they cannot see transfers between a user's own wallets.
The 60-day property CGT return
Selling UK residential property that was not your main home for the whole period of ownership triggers a separate Capital Gains Tax return, due within 60 days of completion along with payment of the tax. This is in addition to the annual Self Assessment. The gain is taxed at 18% or 24% depending on your income band, after the £3,000 annual exempt amount.
Record keeping
Record keeping is a legal obligation with a penalty of up to £3,000 for failure, but its real value is in making every other filing cheaper and more defensible. Keep invoices, receipts, bank statements, mileage logs and any HMRC correspondence, digitally if you like, for five years after the relevant filing deadline for individuals and six years for companies and VAT.
Allowable expenses
An expense is allowable against trading profit if it is incurred wholly and exclusively for the business. Materials, business travel other than ordinary commuting, a proportion of home running costs, software, insurance, professional fees, bank charges and protective clothing qualify. Client entertainment, ordinary clothing, fines and the private share of mixed-use costs do not.
Employer National Insurance
The cost of an employee is more than the salary. Employer National Insurance at 15% above £5,000 a year, the 3% minimum pension contribution, holiday pay, equipment and management time all come on top. The Employment Allowance of £10,500 reduces the National Insurance for most employers with more than one person on the payroll.
Questions
Accounting Software Support questions from Bromley
Can you fix VAT returns that were filed from the software wrongly?
Yes. We reconcile each filed return to the transactions, identify the errors, and correct them in the software and, where required, with HMRC through the next return or a formal error correction. The cleanup fee covers the software work; any HMRC correction is quoted separately before we start.
What if I want to do my own bookkeeping after setup?
That is exactly what the setup and training are for. Many clients keep their own books in the software we set up and come to us only for the year-end accounts and tax return, which is cheaper for them. We configure bank rules and automations so the routine work is mostly matching, not typing.
How long does setup or migration take?
A new setup is usually complete within three working days of receiving your details and last accounts. A migration takes one to two weeks depending on the volume of history and the state of the old data. A cleanup depends on how broken the file is, and we give you a timeline with the fixed quote.
Do I need Making Tax Digital-compatible software?
If you are VAT registered, yes, already. If you are a sole trader or landlord with qualifying income over £50,000, yes, since April 2026, with lower thresholds following. Every platform we set up is MTD-compatible and we authorise it with HMRC as part of the setup.
Will the setup make my year-end cheaper?
Usually, yes. Our own limited company and sole trader accounts fees assume reconciled records, and a properly set up file produces them. Accounts prepared from a tidy software file take days; accounts rebuilt from a broken one take weeks and cost more. The setup fee is typically recovered in the first year-end.
Can you connect my online shop or payment processor?
Yes. Marketplace and e-commerce platforms, card processors and payment gateways can be integrated so that sales, fees and payouts post automatically and reconcile to the bank. Getting the fee and VAT treatment right on these integrations is where most e-commerce files go wrong, and we configure it as part of the setup.
Do you have an office in Bromley?
No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Bromley, South East London and every other UK postcode remotely, with records sent by WhatsApp or email and everything filed electronically. The absence of local premises is why the fee for accounting software support is the same in Bromley as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.
Is accounting software support in Bromley really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Bromley, South East London pays and what a client in any other part of England pays. It is confirmed in writing before work starts and the invoice matches the quote. Where a higher package applies because your situation is more complex, we say so at the quote stage, never afterwards.
