HMRC-registered accountants based in Stanmore, serving Kingston upon Thames KT1 and KT2. Town centre retailers, hospitality operators along the riverside, professionals, students from Kingston University and the diverse small business community. Fixed fees, same-day filing.
Kingston upon Thames is one of south-west London's busiest retail and business centres. KT1 and KT2 cover Kingston town centre and the surrounding residential streets, with the Bentall Centre and the Eden Walk shopping district anchoring a major retail cluster, the riverside running from Kingston Bridge to Hampton Court Park, Kingston University driving a substantial student economy, and a busy hospitality scene built around both daytime shopping trade and evening entertainment.
That retail and student concentration creates a particular accounting profile. Independent retailers and concession holders in the town centre need solid VAT treatment and proper cash management. Hospitality operators need rolling cash flow forecasting that accounts for student term patterns and the typical Kingston tourist trade. The university creates a steady stream of student landlords (often with HMO properties) plus academic-adjacent freelancers needing Self-Assessment support. And the wider KT1 and KT2 professional community needs the usual mix of Limited Company contractor and self-employment support. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Kingston clients online with fixed monthly fees.

Client E owns four student HMO properties in Kingston let to Kingston University students. When he came to us he was managing the properties personally, declaring the rental income on his Self-Assessment as straightforward property income, and being hit hard by the mortgage interest restriction now that he was firmly in the higher tax band. He'd never had a proper conversation about whether the structure suited his portfolio size.
We modelled the position of incorporating the portfolio into a Property Investment Company against keeping it personal. The incorporation had transfer costs (Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax) of around £45,000 upfront, but the ongoing tax saving from full mortgage interest deduction and lower Corporation Tax rates compared to higher-rate income tax was around £14,000 a year. The breakeven was just over three years.
Year one outcome of incorporation: ongoing tax saving of around £14,000 a year going forward, a structure ready for future portfolio growth without the same higher-rate hit on each new property, and Inheritance Tax positioning that's substantially better than holding the properties personally.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Kingston business or portfolio, whether you're a retailer, a student landlord, or a riverside hospitality operator.
