Northern Ireland's small businesses include trades, agriculture, retail, hospitality and a strong tech and services sector around Belfast. Many trade across the border too, which can bring extra VAT and customs questions, so a local accountant who knows the NI rules is well worth having.
Accountants in Down can help with IR35 and contractor accounts, Making Tax Digital, payroll, VAT registration and returns, limited company accounts and corporation tax and Self Assessment tax returns, as well as advice on how to structure your business and plan for tax.
Choosing an accountant in Down
- Find a specialist. An accountant who already works with businesses like yours will spot savings others miss.
- Ask about software. Make sure they support the bookkeeping software you use, or will recommend one for Making Tax Digital.
- Agree how you'll work. Some accountants prefer email, others regular meetings. Pick one whose style suits you.
We cover the whole of Down, including Newry and Newtownards.

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

Are the tax rules any different in Down?
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.
