Accountants in Wrexham for limited companies.

Year-end accounts, the CT600, VAT, CIS and payroll for Wrexham companies, from one accountant in Oswestry. Finstem Accountants acts for limited companies in England and Wales.

Welsh Rates of Income Tax

Welsh Rates of Income Tax apply to directors resident in Wales and are set by the Senedd each year. They belong to the director’s own return, so Finstem confirms where each director lives before the first one is prepared.

What Finstem does

  • Each director’s residence confirmed at onboarding and recorded on the file
  • Salary and dividends reported on the director’s self-assessment return
  • The company’s payroll and the director’s return prepared by the same person

Land Transaction Tax

Land Transaction Tax replaces Stamp Duty Land Tax in Wales. When a company buys premises in Wrexham it is Land Transaction Tax that applies, and Finstem accounts for it in the company’s books.

What Finstem does

  • The purchase and the tax on it recorded correctly in the accounts
  • Capital allowances on plant and fixtures in the building claimed on the CT600
  • The VAT option to tax considered before the purchase completes

Business rates

Business rates are set separately in Wales. For a company with premises on both sides of the border, each bill is accounted for as a cost of that unit, so the margin per site is visible.

What Finstem does

  • Rates bills recorded against the right premises in the bookkeeping
  • Bills paid in advance or in arrears accrued to the right period
  • Premises costs shown by site in the management accounts

A company in England or Wales

Corporation tax and VAT are UK-wide and identical on both sides of the border. The company’s accounts, the CT600 and the VAT returns are the same whether the registered office is in Wrexham or in Oswestry.

What Finstem does

  • Year-end accounts and the CT600 prepared from the same figures
  • VAT registration, scheme choice and quarterly returns under Making Tax Digital
  • CIS for construction companies: verification, the monthly return and deduction statements
