Working With Us From Banstead
We prepare tax returns and accounts for sole traders, landlords, small limited companies and employed people in Banstead. We can help with a Self Assessment return, bookkeeping, year-end company accounts, VAT or payroll, and with claiming back tax you've overpaid through PAYE.
We don't have an office in Banstead. Our nearest office is in Croydon, on the 4th floor of AMP House on Dingwall Road, next to East Croydon station. From Banstead station, Southern trains run through Sutton to West Croydon. From there you can walk across the town centre or take a tram to East Croydon.
If you'd rather not travel, we can do everything by video call, phone and email. We work in English, Russian and Romanian, Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm, and meetings are by appointment.
Our Banstead Services
What we can do for you in Banstead. Each service is quoted at a fixed fee.
Self Assessment Tax Returns
We prepare and file your return, including rent, dividends and savings interest. We check the expenses and allowances you can claim, tell you what to pay and when, and reply to HMRC if they write to you.
Bookkeeping
Monthly or quarterly bookkeeping for sole traders, landlords and small companies. We record sales, costs and payments and reconcile them to your bank account, so your return and accounts start from figures that add up.
Company Accounts & Corporation Tax
Year-end accounts filed with Companies House and a Corporation Tax return filed with HMRC. Corporation Tax is due 9 months and 1 day after your year end, and we tell you the amount before then.
Payroll
Payslips, RTI submissions to HMRC on or before each payday, and auto-enrolment duties for Banstead employers, whether you have one member of staff or several.
Let's Sort Your Accounts
Tell us what you need and we'll come back with a clear, fixed-fee quote. No jargon and no obligation to go ahead.

Worth Knowing in Banstead
Three rules that affect Banstead landlords, shops and employees.
1
Business rates and the borough council
If you rent a shop or office in Banstead, your business rates bill comes from Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, which is based at Reigate Town Hall. The council also handles small business rate relief, so ask it whether your premises qualify. The new East Surrey Council is due to take over the borough council's work on 1 April 2027.
2
Making Tax Digital for landlords
Since 6 April 2026, landlords and sole traders with qualifying income over £50,000 have had to keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates. The threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. Qualifying income is your rent and self-employed income added together, before expenses.
3
Tax refunds for employees
If you started a job partway through the year or were put on an emergency tax code, you may have paid too much tax through PAYE. You can usually claim it back for up to four previous tax years, and we can make the claim for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Banstead residents and businesses.
Do you have an office in Banstead?
No. Our nearest office is in Croydon, at AMP House on Dingwall Road, next to East Croydon station. From Banstead station, Southern trains run through Sutton to West Croydon, and trams run from West Croydon to East Croydon. We can also meet by video call.
I let out a flat in Banstead. What goes on my tax return?
The rent you received and your allowable costs, such as letting agent fees, repairs and insurance, go on the property pages of your Self Assessment return. Mortgage interest isn't deducted from the rent. Instead you get a tax credit at the basic rate. If this is your first year of letting, register for Self Assessment by 5 October after the end of the tax year.
Do I need a tax return for dividends or savings interest?
Not always. It depends on how much you receive and whether HMRC can collect the tax through your tax code. If you already file a Self Assessment return, the income goes on it. Send us your figures and we'll tell you whether you need to register.
I've just started working for myself in Banstead. What should I do first?
Register for Self Assessment by 5 October after the end of the tax year in which you started, and keep a record of every sale and business cost from day one. If your trading income for the year is £1,000 or less before expenses, the trading allowance usually means you don't need to report it.
How much does a tax return cost?
It depends on what the return covers, for example rent from one property or several, or income from a company. After a short call we send a fixed-fee quote in writing. Our pricing page shows how we price common work.
