Accountants in Belfast: your questions answered
How much does an accountant cost in Belfast?

Ask any accountant in Belfast for a fixed fee in writing before you start.
Do I need an accountant based in Belfast?

Are the tax rules any different in Belfast?
Income tax, National Insurance and corporation tax work the same as in England. Businesses moving goods between Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the EU can have extra VAT and customs rules to deal with.
How do I check an accountant is properly qualified?
Ask which professional body they belong to, such as ICAEW, ACCA, ICAS, CIMA, AAT or CIOT. Members follow professional rules, hold insurance and are supervised for anti-money laundering.
