Takeaway accountants in Barry who keep your VAT right and your fee fixed
Takeaway accountants Barry owners call us for one reason: the VAT return is due and the till roll, the card machine and the delivery app payouts do not agree.
Most owners have been billed for a ten minute phone call, so they stopped ringing. We agree a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, and calls, meetings and emails are never charged. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
In one lineSupreme Consultants is an AAT licensed accountancy practice at Titan House in Cardiff Bay that does bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and year-end accounts for takeaway owners in Barry. Work is priced as a fixed fee agreed in writing before it starts, and tax investigation cover is included free for every client.

Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day?
Do you know the fee for the year ahead will not move?
If HMRC wrote about your VAT tomorrow, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
You are carrying the VAT, the paperwork and the HMRC post on your own. Start the check and Mudassir will tell you the same working day whether we can help.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position, and one of those gaps tends to be the expensive one. Start the check and we will talk through which one matters for your takeaway.

Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your takeaway, we deal with it and you do not pay us extra. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
VAT returns filed on time every quarter
We reconcile till takings, card settlements and delivery app payouts, then file under Making Tax Digital before the deadline.
A fee you know before we start
It is agreed in writing. Ring us when the till roll does not add up and it costs nothing.
What takeaway owners tell us when they first call
Three things we hear most weeks from kitchens in Barry and across South Wales.
“HMRC has written to me about my VAT and I do not know what the letter means.”
He left it three weeks because nobody explained it. The deadline in the letter went past and the questions got harder.
“The paperwork is piling up behind the counter and I have stopped opening the brown envelopes.”
Supplier invoices went unclaimed, so the VAT return overstated what was owed.
“I got a bill I cannot make sense of and my accountant has not called back.”
A week of waiting, then interest on top of a figure he still could not explain.
What changes once we take it on
Every deadline for the year is mapped in your first month. We chase the records we need rather than waiting for your box of receipts. When a letter arrives you send us a photo and we tell you that day what it means.
How this compares with the usual arrangement
Plenty of firms do good work for takeaways; the difference is in the phone and the bill.
The usual high street arrangement
You hear from them once a year, after the year end.
A ten minute call turns up on the next invoice.
The fee moves when the records are untidy.
Investigation cover is sold as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.

Eight questions about how your takeaway is run now
Answer yes or no for each one and see where the gaps sit.
Are your till takings reconciled to the bank every week?
Weekly reconciliation is what keeps a VAT check short.
Do your delivery app payouts match the sales in your books?
App commission is often missed, which understates both sales and costs.
Do you keep supplier invoices rather than just the card receipts?
No invoice means the VAT on that purchase cannot be reclaimed.
Do you know which VAT scheme you are on and why?
The scheme decides how much of your takings HMRC expects you to hand over.
Is hot food and cold food split correctly on your till?
The split drives the VAT figure, so a wrong button costs money every day.
Are your staff on payroll with RTI submitted each pay run?
Late RTI submissions bring penalties that build quietly.
Have you applied for any Welsh business rates relief you qualify for?
Welsh councils only give relief to businesses that apply for it.
Would somebody answer today if HMRC wrote to you about VAT?
A letter with a deadline needs a reply that week, not next month.

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, starting with a few questions on this page.
- 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 without the call
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 how you take money out of the takeaway and on your bookkeeping set-up. 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 that is not you, start the check and Mudassir will come back the same working day.
Takeaway accountants Barry: questions people ask
How much do takeaway accountants in Barry cost?
We quote a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, based on your turnover, how many staff you pay and the state of the records. It does not move during the year. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top, so ringing us about a VAT question costs nothing.
How do I switch from my current accountant?
You answer the questions on this page and we reply the same working day. If we are a fit, we complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for your records, so you do not have to make that call. We then get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House.
What happens if HMRC writes to me about my VAT?
Send us the letter and we tell you the same working day what it means and what the deadline is. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, so if HMRC opens an enquiry we deal with HMRC for you and you do not pay us extra. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
Do I have to change my till or accounting software?
No. We work with the records you already keep, including till reports, card machine settlements and delivery app statements. If you want to move to Xero we do the migration free. If your current software works for you, we leave it alone and get on with the returns.
Do you visit takeaways in Barry or is everything remote?
We are based at Titan House in Cardiff Bay and most work is done remotely, which suits owners who are in the kitchen at the times accountants keep office hours. You can come to us in Cardiff Bay instead, or mix the two. Over 90% of our clients are in South Wales.
Can you take on a takeaway with returns already behind?
Usually yes. We have rebuilt the books for a retail client whose previous accountant died with the records, got copies from HMRC and brought every return up to date. The one case we cannot take is a business already late in an HMRC investigation, and we will tell you that straight away.
