Frequently asked questions

Do I qualify as a Furnished Holiday Let (FHL)?
There are occupancy and availability tests to meet. We’ll review your bookings and advise if FHL rules can apply, as this can affect capital allowances and how you’re taxed.
When should I register for VAT?
SA income is generally standard rated for VAT, so the usual £90k threshold (approx.) applies. We can monitor this with you and, if needed, register and handle VAT returns as an add-on.
Can you handle multiple units across different locations?
Yes. We’ll summarise by property or by grouping (e.g. city, building) depending on your preference, while keeping a clear overall picture.
