Bookkeeping for Peterhead: the basics
Good bookkeeping is the foundation everything else sits on: VAT returns, year-end accounts and tax planning all depend on it. For Peterhead businesses we set up cloud software with live bank feeds and receipt capture, and either keep the books ourselves or review what you do each month.
Scottish taxpayers pay Income Tax at rates and bands set by the Scottish Parliament, which differ from the rest of the UK, while National Insurance, VAT and Corporation Tax are UK-wide. Property purchases are subject to Land and Buildings Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
