Frequently Asked Questions - Hospitality Accountants

We Care, You Prosper

Accountants providing expert support

Clear Answers, Confident Decisions

Q: Why do hospitality businesses need specialist accountants?

A: The hospitality industry faces unique challenges—complex VAT rules, tronc and tips management, seasonal staff, high transaction volumes, and tight margins. Specialist hospitality accountants understand these issues and deliver proactive advice, so you stay compliant, claim every allowable expense, and maximise profits all year round.

Q: What services do hospitality accountants provide?

A: Hospitality accountants offer everything you need—statutory accounts, corporation tax, VAT returns (including flat rate and margin schemes), payroll and tronc management, tips compliance, digital bookkeeping, stock and cashflow tracking, grant and funding support, and unlimited advice tailored for hotels, bars, restaurants, cafes, and pubs.

Q: What is tronc and why is it important for hospitality businesses?

A: Tronc is a special pay arrangement for sharing tips, service charges, and gratuities among staff in hospitality. Proper tronc schemes help you pay the right tax and National Insurance, keep staff happy, and stay on the right side of HMRC. Hospitality accountants can set up and manage tronc schemes to make compliance easy.

Q: Can you help with VAT in the hospitality sector?

A: Yes—VAT is especially tricky for hospitality, with different rates for food, drink, accommodation, and special schemes like flat rate or margin. Our hospitality accountants ensure correct VAT registration, quarterly returns, MTD compliance, and help you reclaim every eligible expense—avoiding costly mistakes or penalties.

Q: What expenses can hospitality businesses claim on tax?

A: Hospitality businesses can claim expenses such as food and beverage costs, equipment, uniforms, staff training, marketing, repairs, utilities, business rates, insurance, cleaning, staff meals, and even some refurbishment costs. We help you track and claim every allowable cost, boosting your profitability.

Q: How does payroll and tronc management work for hospitality businesses?

A: We run full payroll for all staff—full-time, part-time, and seasonal—including auto-enrolment pensions, RTI, holiday pay, and sick pay. We also set up and operate tronc schemes to ensure tips and service charges are shared and taxed correctly, keeping staff and HMRC happy.

Q: Can hospitality accountants help with grant and funding applications?

A: Absolutely. We guide you through hospitality grants, government funding, loans, and support schemes—helping you prepare applications, business plans, and financial forecasts to secure the funding you need for growth, refurbishment, or recovery.

Q: What accounting software is best for hospitality businesses?

A: We recommend cloud-based systems like Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent, which integrate with hospitality POS, provide real-time sales and stock tracking, and make VAT and payroll easier. We handle setup, training, and ongoing support—so you get clarity and control from day one.

Q: How do I switch to Swift Accountants from my current accountant?

A: Switching is easy and stress-free. We handle all the paperwork, contact your previous accountant, transfer your records, and get your systems up and running—so you experience no disruption and start benefiting right away.

Q: Are your fees fixed, and is support really unlimited?

A: Yes—Swift Accountants offers clear, fixed monthly fees with no hidden charges. You’ll get unlimited support and advice, so you can call, email, or message whenever you need help—without worrying about extra bills.

Q: What sets Swift Accountants apart from other hospitality accountants?

A: We combine sector expertise, award-winning communication, and a 5-star rated digital service built for hospitality. You get a named accountant who understands your challenges, helps you grow, and supports your business every step of the way.
