Being in London, St James's clients often come to us comparing against firms charging central-London rates for the same compliance work. The work is identical; the overheads aren't — and since we carry no premises anywhere, our fees don't care about postcodes.

St James's landlord & property tax FAQs
How does mortgage interest relief work now?
Under Section 24 you can't deduct mortgage interest from rental profits — instead you get a 20% tax credit. Higher-rate landlords pay noticeably more than under the old rules, which is why the sums (and the company question) deserve proper attention.
Should I hold my properties in a limited company?
Sometimes. Companies deduct interest in full and pay corporation tax rates, but you face costs extracting profits and potentially CGT/SDLT moving existing properties in. We'll run your actual numbers — the honest answer is 'it depends', and we'll show you on what.
What expenses can landlords claim?
Repairs and maintenance (not improvements), agent fees, insurance, ground rent, utilities you pay, advertising, accountancy, and travel for property management. The repairs-versus-improvements line is where most mistakes happen — we police it carefully.
Do I need to visit an office in St James's?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in St James's or anywhere else in Central London.
I searched "landlord tax near me" — is this service really local to St James's?
St James's is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in St James's town centre or the edge of Central London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my landlord tax?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
Tax, briefly — the parts that affect St James's
If you contract through your own limited company, IR35 asks whether you'd be an employee without it. For medium and large clients, the status decision is theirs; for small clients, it's still yours — and getting it wrong in either direction costs money.
Auto-enrolment applies from the first eligible employee: assess, enrol, contribute, declare. The Pensions Regulator does check, and the fines for ignoring it are out of proportion to how simple compliance actually is.
Online Self Assessment returns are due by 31 January, along with any balancing payment — and HMRC's £100 penalty applies the moment the deadline passes, even if you owe nothing. Most St James's clients who come to us in January still file on time; the records just need to arrive before the last week.
The expenses rule is "wholly and exclusively" for the trade — which covers more than most people claim (proportionate home-working costs, business mileage, software subscriptions) and less than some hope (client entertaining, everyday clothing). Knowing the line is where the savings live.
Some businesses register for VAT before they must — reclaiming input VAT can be worth it if your customers are VAT-registered themselves. Others should stay below deliberately. It's a real decision with real numbers, not a formality.
UK residential property sales have their own regime: report and pay within 60 days of completion, separately from Self Assessment. Other gains report annually. Mixing up the two timetables is a common and expensive mistake.
The businesses that struggle with tax bills rarely have a tax problem; they have a timing problem. Knowing the bill in September instead of January — which filing early gives you for free — is the difference between planning and scrambling.
The first tax bill is the hardest because it can arrive with payments on account attached — up to 150% of the year's tax in one go. New businesses that save a quarter to a third of profits from day one never feel it.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in St James's, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
