HMRC-registered accountants serving Bognor Regis PO21 and PO22 online. Butlin's-adjacent hospitality, seafront retailers, holiday let owners, Goodwood-period concessions and the diverse SME community on the West Sussex coast. Fixed fees, real people on the phone.
Bognor Regis has one of the south coast's most distinctive seaside-resort business communities. PO21 and PO22 cover Bognor Regis itself plus Aldwick, Pagham and parts of Felpham, anchored by the long-running Butlin's Bognor Regis resort driving major holiday trade across most of the year, the substantial seafront and pier economy, the long parade of independent retailers along London Road and the town centre, the substantial holiday let economy across the area driven by both Butlin's-adjacent tourism and family-visitor trade, the proximity to Goodwood supporting event-period accommodation, and a wider PO community combining strong seasonal tourism trade with year-round residential professional and retired residents.
That mix creates a particular accounting profile. Seaside hospitality businesses need solid VAT treatment and proper cash flow planning around the seasonal patterns. Holiday let owners need careful handling of the Furnished Holiday Letting regime (which is changing in the next few years). Butlin's-adjacent businesses (taxi firms, restaurants, retailers) need cash flow forecasting around the resort's booking patterns. Retailers along London Road need solid bookkeeping. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Bognor Regis clients online with fixed monthly fees.

Client K owns four holiday let properties around Bognor Regis, marketed primarily to visitors during the Butlin's family-holiday season and during Goodwood event periods. When she came to us she had been letting the properties for five years, declaring the income as ordinary property income on her Self-Assessment, and was getting a significant chunk taxed at her higher marginal rate as a result.
We assessed whether the properties qualified as Furnished Holiday Lettings (FHL) under the qualifying conditions. With careful documentation of the availability days and actual letting days, all four properties met the FHL conditions. We restructured the tax treatment to use FHL rules, which gave access to capital allowances on furniture and equipment, potential Business Asset Disposal Relief on eventual sale, and pension contribution eligibility from the income.
Year one outcome: annual tax saving of around £5,200 from the FHL treatment plus capital allowances catch-up. Note: the FHL regime is changing in the next few years, so we monitor and adjust client positions as needed.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Bognor Regis business, whether you're a holiday let owner, a London Road retailer or a Butlin's-adjacent hospitality operator.
