HMRC-registered accountants serving Leith EH6 online. Restaurants and bars along the Shore and Constitution Street, tech and creative agencies, retailers and the diverse small business community in Edinburgh's most active waterfront district. Fixed fees, same-day filing.
Leith has reinvented itself as one of Edinburgh's most distinctive small business communities. EH6 covers Leith itself plus Newhaven and parts of Easter Road, anchored by the long parade of independent restaurants and bars along the Shore (including several Michelin-starred operations), the substantial creative quarter around the Custom House and Citadel area, the rapidly-developing Leith Walk corridor with its mix of independent retail and hospitality, the tram-link improvements bringing Leith into closer connection with the city centre, and a wider EH6 community that has transformed from former dockside industrial area into one of Scotland's most vibrant small-business ecosystems.
That creative and hospitality density gives Leith a particular accounting profile. Independent restaurants and bars need solid VAT treatment, proper Tronc handling and cash flow forecasting around the evening and Festival patterns. Tech and creative businesses need contractor-aware structures, often with multi-currency client billing. Independent retailers along Leith Walk need solid bookkeeping. And the wider EH6 community needs the usual mix of Self-Assessment and Limited Company support. Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, serves Leith clients online with fixed monthly fees.

Client F runs a popular independent seafood restaurant on the Shore that has been trading for eight years. When she came to us her VAT had been filed by a part-time bookkeeper who wasn't really tracking the business properly, her Tronc arrangement for tips was informal resulting in unnecessary NI being paid, her cash flow was being hammered by paying VAT on credit-card sales and event deposits before they actually cleared, and she was a Scottish-resident higher-rate taxpayer.
We took over the VAT filing directly, formalised the Tronc scheme saving roughly 15 per cent of the tip value on NI, moved her onto Cash Accounting for VAT to better match her credit-card-heavy revenue, sorted the correct VAT treatment of advance event deposits (output VAT due when received, not at the event date), and restructured her director remuneration to balance Scottish rates on salary with UK rates on dividends.
Year one outcome: annual saving of around £5,200 from the Tronc scheme, corrected VAT timing and Scottish-rate planning, plus cleaner cash flow visibility.
No obligation. No jargon. A straightforward conversation about your Leith business, whether you're a Shore restaurant, a creative agency or a Leith Walk retailer.
