Takeaway accountants in Caerphilly who keep your VAT returns on time
Takeaway accountants Caerphilly owners need are the ones who pick up when an HMRC letter about VAT arrives. We do the books, the VAT returns and the payroll on a fixed fee agreed before we start.
Most owners we meet have an accountant who files something once a year and charges for the phone call. We agree the fee in writing first and reply the same working day. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, and every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
In one lineSupreme Consultants is an AAT licensed accountancy practice at Titan House, Cardiff Bay, that does bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and year-end accounts for takeaways in Caerphilly and across South Wales. The fee is fixed and agreed in writing before work starts, and tax investigation cover is included free.

Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day?
Do you know your fee will not change this year?
If HMRC wrote to you tomorrow about VAT, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
Three noes means you are carrying the VAT risk and the chasing yourself. Start the check and Mudassir will tell you what we would do first.
Start the checkYou have some of it covered, and one gap is doing the damage. Start the check and we will look at that one thing.
Start the checkYou are well served and there is no reason to move. Read the guides if you want to keep an eye on the VAT rules.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover at no extra cost
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your takeaway, we deal with it and you pay us nothing more. Other firms sell this as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.
VAT returns filed on the quarter
Takings, card machine, delivery platforms and supplier invoices all go in, and the return is filed on time. You see what you owe before the deadline, not after.
A phone call that costs nothing
Ring us when the till roll does not match the bank and it never lands on an invoice. You get a reply the same working day.
What takeaway owners tell us when they first call
These are the three things we hear most from takeaway owners around Caerphilly.
“HMRC has written to me about my VAT and I do not know what the letter means.”
The letter sat on the counter for three weeks before anyone read it properly. By then the reply window was nearly gone.
“The paperwork is piling up behind the till and nobody has touched it since summer.”
Supplier invoices went missing, so the VAT return was built on guesswork and the figures never matched the bank.
“I got a bill I cannot make sense of and my accountant has not called back.”
He paid it because it was easier than chasing. Nobody checked whether the figure was right.
What changes once we take it on
Your records go into cloud software and stay current, so the VAT return is a check rather than a scramble. Every deadline for the year is mapped in your first month. When an HMRC letter arrives, you send it to us and we answer it.
How this compares with the usual arrangement
Plenty of takeaways are with a decent accountant who simply works a different way.
The once-a-year accountant
Books come in once a year in a carrier bag
Phone calls and emails appear on the invoice
HMRC enquiries are quoted for separately
The fee is confirmed after the work is done
With Supreme Consultants
Records kept current in cloud software all year
Calls, meetings and emails are never charged
Tax investigation cover included free for every client
A fixed fee agreed in writing before we start
Eight questions about your takeaway’s books
Work down the list and see how many you can answer yes to.
Are your daily takings recorded somewhere other than the till roll?
HMRC expects a record it can follow, and so does your VAT return.
Do your card machine payouts reconcile to the bank each month?
Gaps here are the first thing an HMRC VAT check looks at.
Is delivery platform income entered gross, with the commission as a cost?
Entering the net payout understates your turnover and your VAT.
Do you keep supplier invoices rather than just the card receipt?
Without the invoice the input VAT can be disallowed.
Is your VAT scheme still the right one for how you trade now?
Shops and takeaways often stay on a scheme that stopped suiting them years ago.
Are your staff on payroll with RTI submitted each pay run?
Late RTI submissions bring penalties that build quietly.
Have you checked whether you qualify for Welsh business rates relief?
Welsh councils expect you to apply, and they will not chase you.
If HMRC wrote tomorrow, do you know who would answer the letter?
For our clients the answer is us, at no extra cost.

Reviews from clients
Thank you Mud, your help and support with my VAT return is greatly appreciated. Always a prompt response and my difficult VAT return was quickly submitted and resolved. Would definitely recommend.
I just want to say a big thank you to Mudassir for all the advice, guidance and help he has provided whilst dealing with my accounts and tax returns. From start to finish the service has been excellent and professional. Unlike other accountancy firms they provide a friendly personalised service, I was very clear on the process and was even provided with additional guidance where needed. Highly recommended!
Friendly, nice 👌 , helpful and great all around
Difficult to describe as there are too many words that can be expressed for a wonderful accountant and their firm.
Definitely 🔝 and highly recommended in Wales 🏴 and throughout the UK for Accountancy and Tax Services

Getting started
Four steps from your first answer to knowing where you stand.
- Before you join
Your fee agreed in writing
You answer a few questions on the site. Mudassir reads them and replies the same working day, and if we are a fit we agree your fixed fee before any work starts.
- Week one
Records moved across for you
We complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records. HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
- First month
Old returns and deadlines checked
We go through your past accounts, VAT returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.
- By ninety days
How you pay yourself settled
We sit down with you on your bookkeeping set-up and how you take money out of the takeaway. You know what is coming up and who to call.
Who we are not right for
We do not take on CIS construction subcontractors.
We do not do charity accounts.
We cannot help a business already late in an HMRC investigation.
If your takeaway is trading and you want a fixed fee and a reply, start the check and we will tell you straight.
Takeaway accountants Caerphilly: questions people ask
How much do takeaway accountants in Caerphilly charge?
We quote a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, based on your turnover, how many staff you pay and how your records arrive. It does not move during the year. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top, so ringing us about a VAT question costs you nothing.
Can I switch to you if I already have an accountant?
Yes, and you do not have to make the call. We write to your current accountant for your records, complete your ID checks and get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House. The handover and your first month carry no separate charge, and we can move you to Xero free if you want to switch.
What happens if HMRC writes to me about my VAT?
You send us the letter and we deal with HMRC for you. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, where other firms sell it as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won, though that is past fact and no outcome can be promised.
Do I have to change my till or accounting software?
No. We work with the till and card machine you already have and pull the figures from them. If your bookkeeping software is costing you money or causing errors, we will say so, and we move clients to Xero free when they want the change.
Do you visit takeaways in Caerphilly or is everything remote?
Both. We are based at Titan House in Cardiff Bay, which is a short run down from Caerphilly, and clients come to us, we come to them, or we work remotely. Over ninety per cent of our clients are in South Wales, so we know the Welsh rules councils expect you to apply for.
Can you sort out books that are months behind?
Usually yes. We rebuilt a retail client’s books from scratch after his previous accountant died with the records, got copies from HMRC, brought every return up to date and appealed the penalties, which were cancelled. Tell us how far behind you are on the check and we will say what we can do.
