Accounting by activity type

Accountants for used-car dealers

Practical accounting support for used-car dealers and vehicle-trading businesses, including specialist VAT considerations.

Stock and VAT need careful attention

Buying, preparing and selling vehicles creates a busy trail of stock records, invoices, finance and overheads. We identify specialist VAT considerations using the complete vehicle and transaction records you provide.

Records that make work easier

Keep a record for every vehicle purchase and sale, plus invoices, stock information, repairs and overheads. The VAT margin scheme has specific eligibility and record-keeping rules, so it is important to review the details before relying on it.

Choose support that fits

We can support VAT and limited-company accounting for an established motor-trading business, or explain the VAT and accounting requirements to a newer trader.

Self-Assessment support
