Booking.com host accountants who reconcile your payouts and file on time
Booking.com host accountants get called when the payout statements, the cleaning invoices and the bank balance refuse to line up. We reconcile the lot and tell you where you stand against the VAT threshold.
Most hosts hear from their accountant once a year, after the filing date has gone. We agree a fixed fee in writing before we start and reply the same working day. 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 handles bookkeeping, VAT, accounts and tax for Booking.com hosts and serviced accommodation operators across South Wales. The fee is fixed and agreed in writing before work starts, and tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
Check we’re the right fit
A few questions about your business. Mudassir replies the same working day.
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.
5.0 on Google from 14 reviewsReply the same working dayFee fixed before we startEnglish, Urdu, Hindi and Farsi spokenIs your Booking.com bookkeeping in good hands? Three questions.
Answer with the buttons and read the result; there is no email to give.
Question 1 of 3
Does your accountant reply the same working day when you email about a payout?
Do you know today how close your letting income is to the VAT registration threshold?
If HMRC wrote to you tomorrow, would your accountant deal with it at no extra cost?
Three noes means nobody is watching the numbers between year ends, and that is where VAT registration and surprise bills come from. The check takes two minutes and Mudassir replies the same working day.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position, so the question is which gap bites first, the reconciliation or the VAT. Put it through the check and we will tell you straight whether it is worth moving.
Start the checkThree yeses means your set-up is doing its job and you do not need us today. The guides are there if you want to sense-check the VAT threshold before the next property.
Read the guidesWhat you get
HMRC enquiries dealt with for you
Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, where other firms sell it as an add-on. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
Every payout matched to the bank
Booking.com pays net of commission, so the figure in your bank is never the figure the guest paid. We reconcile both and record the gross income properly.
A clear line on the VAT threshold
We track your rolling turnover month by month and tell you when registration is coming. You decide on the next property knowing the answer.
What hosts tell us when they ring
These are the three calls we take most often from serviced accommodation operators.
Income comes in from three platforms and none of it is reconciled against my bank.
The year-end figures were guesswork, so the tax bill arrived as a surprise.
I do not know whether I am near the VAT threshold or already past it.
One host took on two more units before checking and registered late.
Nobody has told me how to pay myself from this, and I keep raiding the account.
Drawings went through as a director’s loan and sat there until year end.
What changes once we take it on
Your payouts, commission and cleaning costs go into the books monthly, not in one go in January. You see the VAT position before it forces a decision. When a letter arrives from HMRC, you send it to us and we answer it.
How we differ from a once-a-year accountant
Plenty of firms file accurate accounts for hosts; the difference is what happens in between.
A once-a-year accountant
You hear from them after the year has closed.
Payout statements get totalled, not reconciled.
A ten-minute call lands on the next invoice.
Investigation cover is sold as a yearly add-on.
With Supreme Consultants
A reply the same working day, every working day.
Gross income, commission and cleaning costs recorded monthly.
Calls, meetings and emails are never charged.
Tax investigation cover is included free for every client.
Eight questions about your letting set-up
A yes means it is covered; a no is worth a conversation.
Do you record gross guest income rather than the net Booking.com payout?
Net figures understate turnover and hide the commission you can claim.
Is every platform payout matched to a bank line each month?
Monthly matching stops a twelve-month reconciliation in January.
Do you know your rolling twelve-month taxable turnover today?
That figure decides whether VAT registration is coming.
Are cleaning, laundry and linen costs captured against the right property?
Per-property costs show which unit actually makes money.
If you rent-to-rent, is the management agreement reflected in the books?
The agreement decides whose income the booking actually is.
Do you take a planned salary and dividend, or draw as you go?
Unplanned drawings end up as a director’s loan at year end.
Would your accountant answer an HMRC letter without charging extra?
Ours is included free for every client.
Do you know your accountancy fee for the next twelve months?
Ours is fixed in writing before any work starts.
What we do for your Booking.com income
One fixed fee covers the lot, and calls are never charged on top.

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

How switching to us works
Four steps, and you never have to ring your old accountant.

You answer a few questions on the site and Mudassir replies the same working day. 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.

Past returns and payouts reviewed
We go through your past accounts, tax returns and HMRC records. Unclaimed reliefs, payments on account set too high and penalties worth appealing turn up here.

You know your VAT position

Who we are not right for
We do not take on CIS construction subcontractors.
We do not prepare charity accounts.
We cannot help a business already late in an HMRC investigation.
If you are outside those three, start the check and Mudassir will tell you the same working day whether we are a fit.
Booking.com host accountants: questions people ask
What do Booking.com host accountants charge?
We agree a fixed fee in writing before any work starts, based on the number of properties, the platforms you use and whether you are VAT registered. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top. We do not publish figures because a single flat in Barry and a portfolio of six units are different jobs.
Can I switch accountants part way through the year?
Yes. You answer the questions on the site, we agree the fee, then we write to your current accountant for your records so you do not have to make that call. We complete the ID checks and get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House in week one.
What happens if HMRC writes to me about my letting income?
You send us the letter and we answer it. 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. One client came to us owing HMRC around £20,000 with no idea what for; we went through every line and much of it was cancelled.
Do I have to change my bookkeeping software?
No. We work with the cloud software you already use. If you want to move to Xero we do the migration free, and if you are keeping spreadsheets we will tell you honestly whether they will hold up once a VAT return is due.
When does a Booking.com host need to register for VAT?
Serviced accommodation is a standard-rated supply, so short-let income counts towards the VAT registration threshold in a way long residential lets do not. We track your rolling twelve-month turnover and tell you before you cross it, so you can decide on the next property with the figure in front of you.
Do you work with Booking.com hosts outside Cardiff?
Yes. Over 90 per cent of our clients are in South Wales, with Newport, Swansea, Caerphilly, Barry and Port Talbot after Cardiff, and Bristol over the bridge. Work is done remotely, in person at Titan House in Cardiff Bay, or a mix of the two, whichever suits you.
