Takeaway accountants in Port Talbot who sort the VAT and answer the phone
Takeaway accountants Port Talbot searches usually start with an HMRC letter about VAT, or a carrier bag of till receipts nobody has opened since the spring.
Most owners we meet are behind because the numbers arrive from three places at once: the till, the card machine and the delivery apps. We reconcile them, file the returns on time and agree the fee in writing first. 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. It does bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll and year-end accounts for takeaways in Port Talbot and across South Wales on a fixed fee agreed in writing before work starts, with tax investigation cover included free for every client.

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, would they deal with it at no extra cost?
Three noes means the takeaway is carrying the risk, not the accountant. Start the check and Mudassir reads your answers and replies the same working day.
Start the checkYou are in a reasonable position, but one of those gaps shows up the week HMRC writes. Start the check and we will tell you straight whether it is worth moving.
Start the checkYou are well served and there is no reason to move. Read the guides if you want a second view on your VAT records.
Read the guidesWhat you get
Tax investigation cover included free
If HMRC opens an enquiry into the takeaway, we deal with it and you pay us nothing extra. Other firms sell this as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year.
A fee you know before we start
We agree it in writing. Ring us when the till roll does not match the card machine payout and the call costs nothing.
An accountant who knows the Welsh rules
We found £10,000 of business rates relief for a Spar franchise owner in a first meeting, because Cardiff Council only gave it to businesses that applied.
What takeaway owners tell us when they call
These are the three things we hear most from Port Talbot kitchens.
“HMRC has written to me about my VAT and I do not know what the letter means.”
The letter sat by the till for three weeks and the reply date went with it.
“The paperwork is piling up behind the counter and I cannot face a whole year of it.”
Two quarters of VAT were filed on estimates, so the figures had to be corrected later.
“I got a bill I cannot make sense of and my accountant has not called back.”
He paid it to make it go away, and nobody checked whether it was right.
What changes once we take it on
Your takings, card payouts and delivery statements are reconciled every month instead of every January. VAT returns go in on time and you see the figure before it is filed. You can ring us the day a letter arrives and there is no invoice for the call.
How this compares with the arrangement you have now
Plenty of firms do good work for takeaways; the difference is in how you are charged and who answers.
The usual arrangement
Accounts land months after the year end.
A ten minute question appears on the next invoice.
The quote is given, then revised at year end.
Investigation cover is a yearly add-on.
With Supreme Consultants
Deadlines mapped for the year ahead.
Calls, meetings and emails are never charged.
A fixed fee agreed in writing before we start.
Tax investigation cover included free.
Eight questions about how your takeaway accounts are run
Answer these about the last twelve months in the shop.
Do your till takings get recorded every week?
Weekly entries make the VAT return a check rather than a reconstruction.
Do the delivery app payouts match your sales figures?
Commission and refunds come off the payout, so the gross sale has to be recorded separately.
Do you know which of your food sales carry VAT?
Hot food eaten off the premises is standard rated, and HMRC checks that split.
Is your VAT scheme still the right one for your turnover?
The scheme that suited one shop often stops suiting you after a second site opens.
Are your staff on payroll with pension assessments done?
Casual kitchen hours still need RTI submissions and auto-enrolment checks.
Did you apply for the Welsh business rates relief you qualify for?
Welsh councils make you apply, and nobody writes to tell you.
Can you explain every HMRC bill you have paid this year?
A bill nobody explained is often an estimate that could have been corrected.
Do you know today what you will owe at the year end?
We map the deadlines and the figures so the bill is never a surprise.

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. Mudassir reads them and replies the same working day, and we agree your fixed fee before any work starts.
- Week one
Records collected for you
We complete your ID checks and write to your current accountant for the records. HMRC and Companies House authorise us as your agent.
- First month
Old returns and letters 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
Till and bookkeeping set up
We sit down with you on how you pay yourself and how takings reach the books. 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 do not take on businesses already late in an HMRC investigation.
If your takeaway sits outside those three, start the check and we will tell you the same working day.
Takeaway accountants Port Talbot: questions people ask
What does a takeaway accountant in Port Talbot cost?
We agree one fixed fee in writing before any work starts, based on your turnover, the number of staff and how your takings are recorded. Calls, meetings and emails are never charged on top. Answer the questions on this page and Mudassir comes back the same working day with the fee for your shop.
How do I switch my takeaway accounts to you mid-year?
You do not need to ring your current accountant. We complete your ID checks, write to them for your records and get authorised as your agent with HMRC and Companies House. The handover and the first month carry no separate charge, and we move you to Xero free if you want to change software.
What happens if HMRC writes to me about my takeaway VAT?
Send us the letter and we answer HMRC for you. Tax investigation cover is included free for every client, so an enquiry does not mean an extra bill from us. Other firms sell that cover as an add-on for £300 to £1,000 a year. Every HMRC investigation we have handled, we have won.
Do I have to change my till or my bookkeeping software?
No. We work with the till and the delivery app statements you already use, and we can keep your current cloud software. If you would rather move to Xero we do the migration free. The point is that your takings and payouts get reconciled every month, whichever system holds them.
Do you work with takeaways in Port Talbot if you are based in Cardiff?
Yes. We are at Titan House in Cardiff Bay and Port Talbot is one of the towns we cover. Most of the work is done remotely, with records sent by phone or email, and you can meet us at the office when it suits. Phones are answered Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Do you take on every takeaway that asks?
No. We do not act for CIS construction subcontractors, charities, or businesses already late in an HMRC investigation, and we say so straight away rather than string anyone along. Everything else, including limited companies, sole traders and partnerships running one shop or five, we are happy to look at.
