Specialist tax advice for Birmingham individuals and businesses
Tax is where most people lose money without realising it, either by missing a relief they were entitled to or by missing a deadline they did not know applied. Our job is to make sure neither happens.
Gondal Accountancy is based at 1126A Stratford Road in Hall Green, Birmingham. We act for individuals, landlords, freelancers, start-ups and small businesses across Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry and the wider West Midlands, and for clients throughout the UK who work with us remotely.
What sets this practice apart is the qualification. Our team includes a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, which is a specialist tax qualification rather than a general accountancy one. It matters most on the situations that do not fit a template: a property disposal, a company restructure, an HMRC enquiry, or income from several sources at once.
Whether you would rather deal with us by phone, by video call or across a desk on Stratford Road, the first conversation is free and there is no obligation to go further.

Key UK tax deadlines
Most penalties come from missed dates rather than wrong numbers. HMRC charges an automatic £100 penalty for a late Self Assessment return even when no tax is owed. These are the dates that catch people out.
| Date | What is due |
|---|---|
| 5 April | The tax year ends. |
| 31 July | Second payment on account for Self Assessment is due. |
| 5 October | Deadline to tell HMRC you need to file a return for the tax year just ended. |
| 31 October | Paper Self Assessment tax returns are due. |
| 30 December | Deadline to file online if you want tax under £3,000 collected through your PAYE code. |
| 31 January | Online Self Assessment returns are due, along with the balancing payment and first payment on account. |
Company deadlines run differently. Corporation Tax is normally payable nine months and one day after your accounting period ends, while the CT600 return is due twelve months after that date — so the money is due before the paperwork. Gains on UK residential property must be reported and paid within 60 days of completion. VAT returns are usually due one month and seven days after the end of the VAT period.
When it comes to paying, we keep direct links to the right HMRC service for Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, VAT and employers' PAYE.
Deadlines falling on a weekend or bank holiday may shift. For the current position see GOV.UK Self Assessment deadlines and GOV.UK Corporation Tax, or ask us to check your dates.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
MTD changes how sole traders and landlords report income to HMRC, replacing one annual return with digital records and quarterly updates. It is being introduced in stages based on qualifying income:
- From April 2026 — qualifying income over £50,000
- From April 2027 — qualifying income over £30,000
- From April 2028 — qualifying income over £20,000
MTD for VAT already applies to all VAT-registered businesses. If you are approaching one of these thresholds, the work is worth starting early: choosing software, getting records into a digital format and establishing a quarterly rhythm takes longer than most people expect. We support Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent, and can handle the setup and the bookkeeping alongside your tax work.

The same adviser throughout
You deal with someone who knows your situation, rather than explaining it again to whoever picks up the phone.
Local, but not limited to local
Our office is on Stratford Road in Hall Green if you would rather meet in person, and everything works remotely if you would not.
Alongside tax we provide accounts, bookkeeping, VAT and payroll, so your tax position and your figures stay joined up. You can also read what our clients say or find out more about the practice.
Tax accountant Birmingham: common questions
Yes. Our team includes a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA), qualified through the Chartered Institute of Taxation. The CTA is widely regarded as the highest level of tax qualification in the UK, and it is a separate qualification from general accountancy training.
It depends on the work. A one-off Self Assessment tax return is a fixed fee. Ongoing business support is usually a monthly package covering accounts, tax and payroll. We agree a fixed quote with you before any work starts, so there are no hidden charges and no hourly billing surprises.
Yes. We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation. You can call us on 0121 439 9760, or use the enquiry form and we will arrange a time that suits you.
You are not legally required to use one. You do have to keep accurate records and file the right returns on time. Where an accountant earns their fee is on anything beyond a simple return: self-employment, rental income, dividends, capital gains, or a limited company. In those cases the reliefs claimed and the penalties avoided often exceed the cost.
You will usually need to file if you are self-employed, a company director, a landlord, or you have significant savings, dividend, foreign or capital gains income to report. If you are unsure whether it applies to you, we can check your position before you register.
Paper returns are due by 31 October. Online returns and the balancing payment are due by 31 January. HMRC charges an automatic £100 penalty for filing late, even where no tax is owed, with further penalties and interest accruing after that.
A good one helps you use the allowances, reliefs and planning opportunities you are legitimately entitled to: allowable expenses, capital allowances, pension contributions, the right salary and dividend mix, and reliefs such as R&D tax credits. That is lawful tax efficiency. We do not advise on avoidance schemes.
For most companies, Corporation Tax is payable nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period, and the CT600 return must be filed within twelve months of that date. Note that the payment deadline comes before the filing deadline, which catches out a lot of first-year directors.
Capital Gains Tax can apply when you sell or dispose of an asset such as property, shares or a business for a gain above your annual exempt amount. Gains on UK residential property generally have to be reported and paid within 60 days of completion, which is a much tighter window than most people expect.
MTD for VAT already applies to all VAT-registered businesses. MTD for Income Tax applies to sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 from April 2026, over £30,000 from April 2027, and over £20,000 from April 2028. We can check which stage applies to you and get your records ready in time.
Yes, and it is more straightforward than most people assume. We write to your existing accountant for professional clearance and the handover information, and we deal with the paperwork. You can change accountants at any point in the year.
No. Our office is on Stratford Road in Hall Green and we are happy to meet in person, but all our services are available remotely by phone, video call and secure document sharing. We act for clients across Birmingham, Solihull and the wider West Midlands, and throughout the UK.
