Accountants Manchester: in short

In short: whether you run a limited company, work as a sole trader or let property in Manchester, we handle your accounts, tax returns and VAT for a fixed fee agreed upfront, with VAT included and no hourly charges.

Limited company accountants in Manchester

Our limited company service covers statutory year-end accounts, the CT600 Corporation Tax return, confirmation statements, payroll and each director’s Self Assessment return. We also review your salary and dividends against the 2026/27 rates, where dividends are taxed at 10.75% and 35.75%. See our limited company accountants page and our Corporation Tax calculator.

Year-end accounts and tax planning

Accounts are due at Companies House nine months after your year end, and Corporation Tax nine months and one day after. A review before your year end can reduce tax through pension contributions, capital allowances and the timing of bonuses. Read our company year-end tax planning checklist.

Self Assessment tax returns in Manchester

We prepare Self Assessment returns from £150 for straightforward cases, £250 for sole traders and landlords, with a fixed quote for more complex returns. The 2025/26 return is due by 31 January 2027. See our Self Assessment service.

VAT accountants in Manchester

We register businesses for VAT once turnover passes £90,000, file MTD VAT returns and review whether the Flat Rate, cash or annual accounting schemes would save you money. See our VAT accountancy services.

Making Tax Digital

Sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 joined MTD in April 2026, and the threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027. Our MTD packages start at £25 a month including VAT.
