HMRC-registered accountants serving Dundee DD1 to DD4 online. Video games studios in the city's substantial games cluster, life sciences spin-outs, NHS contractors, V&A Dundee-area retailers and the diverse SME community in Scotland's fourth city. Fixed fees, same-day filing.
Dundee has one of Scotland's most distinctive tech-and-creative business communities. DD1 to DD4 cover Dundee city centre plus Broughty Ferry, Lochee and parts of West Ferry, anchored by the long-running video games cluster (Dundee is the birthplace of Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings, with substantial games studios including Rockstar North's heritage, Outplay Entertainment, 4J Studios and many smaller studios making Dundee one of the UK's most concentrated video games hubs), the substantial life sciences cluster around the University of Dundee Wellcome Trust Biocentre and the James Hutton Institute, the substantial V&A Dundee waterfront cultural development driving tourism and creative industry growth, the substantial Overgate Shopping Centre and Wellgate Centre retail destinations, the two universities (University of Dundee and Abertay University, the latter renowned for video games degrees), and a wider DD community shaped by Dundee's status as Scotland's most concentrated games and tech cluster.
That density gives Dundee a particular accounting profile. Video games studios need investor-ready Limited Company structures, EIS and SEIS handling, Video Games Expenditure Credit (replacing the older Video Games Tax Relief) and R&D tax credit work where genuine. Life sciences spin-outs need similar handling plus careful structuring of university IP licence arrangements. Overgate and Wellgate concession holders need specific landlord turnover reporting. NHS Tayside contractors working through Limited Companies need IR35-aware structures (NHS clients have been operating off-payroll rules since 2017). Scottish income tax rates apply. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Dundee clients online with fixed monthly fees.

Client S runs a small independent video games studio in Dundee city centre, with a team of seven working on a debut title for a publisher. When he came to us he was preparing for his first investment round, his Companies House records were behind, his bookkeeping was on spreadsheets, and his Video Games Tax Relief claim was being handled by a generalist accountant who didn't understand the BFI cultural test or the specific games industry rules.
We rebuilt his accounting on Xero with proper development cost capitalisation per project, formalised the cap table with a proper shareholders' agreement, prepared the SEIS Advance Assurance application and got HMRC's blessing before the round opened, prepared a substantial Video Games Expenditure Credit claim with the BFI cultural certificate properly in place, and put management accounts in place ready for investor due diligence.
Outcome: closed a £190,000 SEIS round on clean investor-ready financials, Video Games Expenditure Credit of around £62,000 on the previous accounting period (substantially higher than the previous accountant's estimate), and a structure that handles future production and publishing deals smoothly.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Dundee business, whether you're a video games studio, a life sciences spin-out or an NHS Tayside contractor.
