Worcester Tax Done Right

Tax rules change every year. HMRC doesn’t send you a helpful summary. If you’re running a business in Worcester or Worcestershire — a sole trader, a limited company, a landlord, or a contractor — the chances are you’re either paying more tax than you should, or you’re one missed deadline away from a fine.

Our Worcester office handles everything from straightforward self-assessment returns to complex multi-income tax planning. We’re AAT Licensed, we know Worcestershire businesses, and we’ve been doing this long enough to know where the savings usually hide.

Fixed fee. No surprises. Filed on time, every time.

Why a Local Worcester Tax Accountant Matters

Worcester has a distinct business mix — construction firms serving the M5 corridor, independent retailers along the High Street and Friar Street, a growing hospitality sector around the Cathedral and Racecourse, landlords with buy-to-let portfolios across the county, and plenty of professionals who’ve gone self-employed in recent years.

Each of those groups has different tax challenges. A Worcester landlord navigating Section 24 is dealing with a completely different set of rules to a Warndon-based construction contractor claiming back overpaid CIS tax. Generic advice doesn’t cut it — and an accountant who doesn’t know the local economy can’t give you the specific, practical guidance you actually need.

We’re based on Shaw Street — five minutes from the Severn — and we know Worcester businesses because we work with them every day. You can come in and sit across a desk, or sort everything over email. Either way: you’ll always know what you’re paying, you’ll never miss a deadline, and you’ll always get a straight answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about tax accountants in Worcester.

How much does a tax accountant in Worcester cost?

Self-assessment tax returns start from £190 + VAT at Severn Accounting. The exact fee depends on complexity — a straightforward sole trader return is at the lower end; a return with rental income, capital gains, and overseas income will be more. We always give you a fixed fee upfront.

Can I meet my tax accountant in person in Worcester?

Yes. Our Worcester office is at 1 Shaw Street, Shaw Mews, WR1 3QQ — just off the river. You’re welcome to come in and talk things through. We also see plenty of clients over video call if that’s easier.

When is the self-assessment tax return deadline?

The online self-assessment deadline is 31 January each year. Miss it and HMRC issues a £100 automatic penalty — more if you’re later than 3 months. We send reminders well in advance and file as early as possible.

Do I need an accountant if I'm a sole trader?

You’re not legally required to use an accountant, but most Worcester sole traders find the cost more than pays for itself. A good accountant claims every allowable expense, avoids costly mistakes, and frees up hours of your time. Most of our sole trader clients save more in tax than they pay us in fees.

What is Making Tax Digital and does it affect me?

Making Tax Digital (MTD) requires businesses to keep digital records and submit tax information using approved software. MTD for VAT is already live. MTD for Income Tax (ITSA) rolls out from April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000. We help clients get MTD-ready well ahead of each deadline.

Can you help if I've received an HMRC enquiry letter?

Yes. HMRC enquiries are stressful — we handle all communication with HMRC on your behalf, gather the required documentation, and work to resolve the enquiry as quickly as possible. If you’re facing an HMRC letter, call us straight away on 07950 244741.

Do you help landlords with property income returns?

Absolutely. Property income has become increasingly complex — Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions, the 60-day CGT reporting deadline, and the incoming MTD for ITSA changes all need careful handling. We look after many Worcester and Worcestershire landlords and optimise their tax position year-round.

How quickly can you file my tax return?

Once you send us your information, we aim to have a draft return back to you within 5–7 working days for straightforward cases. Complex returns may take a little longer. We’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront.
