Our specialized accounting services for motor traders are designed to help you stay compliant, optimize your finances, and drive profitability.
Key Services for Motor Traders
VAT Margin Scheme & Compliance
Motor traders are often eligible for VAT Margin Schemes, especially for used vehicles. We assist in navigating the complexities of VAT on car sales, ensuring you comply with HMRC regulations while maximizing your VAT recovery and minimizing your liabilities.
Tax Planning & Deductions
Whether you’re a sole trader or a larger dealership, effective tax planning is essential for minimizing tax liabilities. We provide tailored tax planning services to ensure you’re taking full advantage of available deductions, including capital allowances on vehicles, premises, and equipment.
Payroll & Staff Management
The motor trade often involves a commission-based pay structure for sales staff, which can complicate payroll management. We offer comprehensive payroll services that ensure accurate payment of wages, bonuses, and commissions while remaining compliant with tax and employment laws.

Cash flow can fluctuate dramatically in the motor trade, especially with large capital outlays for stock and delayed payments from customers or finance providers. We help you forecast cash flow, manage your working capital, and maintain financial stability throughout the year.
