Accountant in Kennington

Tax & Accounting for Kennington Businesses

Kennington SE11 is a central, increasingly affluent South London area in the London Borough of Lambeth, just across the river from Westminster and within easy reach of the City and the West End. Home to the Oval cricket ground and elegant Georgian and Victorian terraces, Kennington attracts professionals working in government, law, finance and the media, alongside an established diverse community. The central location, period housing and excellent transport support high property values and an active landlord market.

That gives Kennington a particular accounting profile. Westminster, City and Whitehall professionals often have PAYE income plus consulting, investment income or rental property. Contractors and consultants need Ltd company structures and IR35 assessment. Period-property landlords face substantial CGT and Section 24 restrictions. And the diverse local businesses need proper structures. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Kennington clients online with fixed monthly fees.

💡 As an HMRC-registered agent we deal directly with HMRC on your behalf, so you never have to spend hours on hold or navigate their website yourself.

Client Story

How we saved a Kennington consultant £9,400 a year through proper structure

Client R is a management and policy consultant living in Kennington, working through a Ltd company on contracts with public-sector and corporate clients. The company had been set up without much advice, salary set sub-optimally, no dividend planning, no pension contributions, and no documented IR35 assessment, which is particularly important given public-sector clients fall under the off-payroll rules.

We reviewed everything. We assessed and documented the IR35 status of each contract (public-sector clients assess status, so we ensured the determinations were correct and challenged any blanket inside-IR35 determinations that didn't fit the working practices), restructured the remuneration to salary plus dividends where outside IR35, and set up employer pension contributions as an efficient extraction.

Total outcome: annual tax saving of £9,400 through proper remuneration structuring and pension contributions on the outside-IR35 work, with documented IR35 positions and a process for reviewing each new contract's status.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm a Kennington consultant with public-sector clients. How does IR35 work?
Public-sector and medium/large private clients assess your IR35 status under the off-payroll rules, usually with CEST. If they determine you're inside IR35, the fee payer deducts PAYE and NIC. But blanket inside determinations are common and not always correct, if your working practices genuinely point to self-employment (substitution, control, no mutuality of obligation), the determination can be challenged. We review and document each contract.
How should I take profit from my Kennington Ltd company on outside-IR35 work?
Most efficiently: salary at the NIC-optimal level (typically £12,570) plus dividends using the dividend allowance and basic-rate band, with employer pension contributions (tax-deductible, up to £60,000). For inside-IR35 work the income is already taxed via PAYE. We structure the mix correctly across your contracts.
I'm a Kennington professional with PAYE plus consulting income. Self-assessment?
Yes, employment income plus any self-employment, rental or investment income above the relevant allowances goes on one self-assessment. We combine it all, claim your consulting expenses, register you and file annually.
I'm a Kennington landlord with a period property. CGT and Section 24?
Section 24 restricts personal landlord mortgage interest relief to a 20% credit, raising the effective rate for higher-rate taxpayers. On disposal, CGT at 18%/24% applies on a potentially large gain. We provide a comprehensive landlord review and model whether a company structure helps.
I'm a Kennington contractor. Can you review my IR35 determinations?
Yes, we review the client's status determination against your actual working practices and contract terms. If we believe an inside-IR35 determination is wrong, we help you raise a status disagreement with the client. Getting this right materially affects your take-home. We document the position to support it.
Should I make pension contributions to manage my Kennington tax bill?
Often yes, employer pension contributions from your company are tax-deductible and highly efficient; personal contributions reduce adjusted net income, valuable in the £100,000-£125,140 taper zone. We'll advise on the right level within the annual allowance, including carry-forward.
I run a Kennington local business. What do you provide?
Bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, annual accounts and Corporation Tax if a company, plus director self-assessment, bundled into a fixed monthly fee with cloud accounting for automatic bank-feed capture.
