Opening soon. Farside Accounting Ltd's registration with HMRC for anti-money-laundering supervision is in progress. We are happy to talk now, and will take on client work once that registration is confirmed.
Books, returns and filings, done before they are due.
Bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, tax returns and company filings — prepared, reconciled and checked by a named reviewer before anything comes back to you.

What is actually in scope
What is due next
Live from today's date. The dates below are the statutory ones — the working deadline on any file we run is earlier, by agreement.
Where the corporation tax actually bites
The headline rates are 19% and 25%. Neither is what a company earning between £50,000 and £250,000 pays on its next pound of profit.
| Taxable profit | Tax | Effective |
|---|---|---|
| £50,000 | £9,500 | 19.00% |
| £100,000 | £22,750 | 22.75% |
| £150,000 | £36,000 | 24.00% |
| £200,000 | £49,250 | 24.63% |
| £250,000 | £62,500 | 25.00% |
Marginal relief at the 3/200 standard fraction. Both thresholds are divided by the number of associated companies, so a company with one associate hits the main rate at £125,000 of profit rather than £250,000. The chart is drawn from the formula itself, not traced.
