HMRC-registered accountants serving Exeter EX1 to EX4 online. University of Exeter freelancers, Met Office contractors, M5-corridor logistics, Princesshay concession holders, Cathedral-area hospitality and the diverse SME community. Fixed fees, same-day filing.
Exeter has one of the south-west's most distinctive cathedral-city and university-cluster business communities. EX1 to EX4 cover the central commercial district, the substantial Princesshay Shopping Centre and Guildhall Shopping Centre, the long-running independent retailers along Gandy Street and Fore Street, the substantial year-round tourism around Exeter Cathedral and the Quayside, the major University of Exeter presence at Streatham Campus driving an academic and student community, the substantial Met Office head office (one of the world's leading climate and weather research centres) supporting a specialist tech and research community, the busy M5 corridor making Exeter a logistics and distribution location, the substantial Exeter Airport supporting aviation-adjacent businesses, and a wider EX community shaped by Exeter's status as the south-west's principal regional capital.
That mix gives Exeter a particular accounting profile. University of Exeter researchers and Met Office contractors working through Limited Companies need IR35-aware structures. Princesshay and Guildhall concession holders need specific landlord turnover reporting. M5-corridor logistics operators need proper VAT treatment plus capital allowances on fleet vehicles. Cathedral-area hospitality needs solid VAT treatment and seasonal cash flow planning. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Exeter clients online with fixed monthly fees.

Client G is a senior climate science consultant based in Exeter, working through her own Limited Company on long-term engagements with the Met Office and a UK university client. When she came to us her IR35 position had not been reviewed since the off-payroll rules changed, her bookkeeping was on spreadsheets, her pension contributions through the company were minimal despite substantial scope, and she had never had a proper conversation about whether her structure suited her income level.
We audited each engagement for IR35 status. The Met Office engagement had been determined inside IR35 (a defensible determination), but the university research engagement was genuinely outside following a careful review of the SDS. We restructured the Limited Company to handle the two income streams cleanly, migrated her onto Xero, set up substantial employer pension contributions through the company on the outside-IR35 income using carry-forward from the previous three tax years, and addressed the historic position with HMRC.
Year one outcome: a defensible HMRC position on both engagements, annual tax saving of around £6,200 from cleaner structuring, a one-off catch-up pension contribution capturing Corporation Tax relief at 25 per cent, and Client G now genuinely understands her IR35 position.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Exeter business, whether you're a Met Office contractor, a Princesshay concession or an M5 logistics operator.
