HMRC-registered accountants serving Gosport PO12 and PO13 online. Marine engineering, naval supply chain businesses, town centre retailers, CIS contractors and the diverse SME community across the harbour from Portsmouth. Fixed fees, same-day filing.
Gosport has one of the south coast's most distinctive naval-heritage business communities. PO12 and PO13 cover Gosport itself plus Lee-on-the-Solent and parts of Stubbington, anchored by the substantial Royal Navy Submarine Museum and historic submarine base heritage, the long-running marine engineering tradition that continues at the Daedalus enterprise zone and the local boatyards, the Gosport ferry connection driving cross-harbour commuter trade into Portsmouth, the substantial Lee-on-the-Solent coastline supporting marina and lifestyle businesses, and a wider PO community providing CIS subcontractors and trades businesses serving construction across the south coast.
That maritime focus creates a particular accounting profile. Marine engineering and boatyard businesses need proper handling of capital allowances on specialist equipment and the specific VAT rules around qualifying vessels. Naval supply chain contractors working through Limited Companies need IR35-aware structures. CIS subcontractors working across the south coast need clean monthly returns and same-day refund processing. Town centre retailers need solid bookkeeping. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Gosport clients online with fixed monthly fees.

Client P runs a small marine engineering business at the Daedalus enterprise zone supplying specialist services to boatyards and yacht owners across the Solent. When he came to us his bookkeeping was on spreadsheets, his VAT was being filed by a part-time bookkeeper who didn't really understand the specific zero-rating rules for work on qualifying vessels, and around £75,000 of specialist equipment purchased over two years had not been properly claimed under the Annual Investment Allowance.
We migrated him onto Xero with proper stock and job-costing integration per vessel, took over the VAT filing directly (including the zero-rating of work on qualifying ships where the documentation supported it), worked back through two years of capital purchases to claim the full Annual Investment Allowance where still in time, and put proper management accounts in place.
Year one outcome: VAT refund of around £8,400 from the historic zero-rating position, Corporation Tax refund of around £6,000 from properly-claimed capital allowances, and a clean ongoing position.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Gosport business, whether you're a marine engineering firm, a boatyard operator or a CIS subcontractor.
