Online accountants vs the high street
A high-street accountant in South East London typically bills by the hour, meets by appointment and prices each extra question. We work the other way round: one fixed fee agreed in writing before anything starts, every question included, and the whole engagement handled online — which is exactly why we can serve Penge at fees a walk-in office can't match.
There's no office to fund in Penge and no office to visit: records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.

Penge r&d tax credits FAQs
Does my work actually qualify as R&D?
The test is whether you sought an advance in science or technology by resolving uncertainty a competent professional couldn't readily solve. Routine development doesn't qualify; genuine technical problem-solving often does. Our free eligibility review gives you a straight answer before you spend anything.
How much is a claim worth?
Under the merged scheme, broadly a 20% expenditure credit on qualifying spend — staff costs, subcontractors, software, consumables. A company with £100,000 of qualifying spend sees a benefit in the region of £15,000–£16,000 after tax.
What if HMRC opens an enquiry?
Enquiry rates have risen sharply, which is why our narratives are written to answer HMRC's questions before they're asked. If an enquiry does open, we respond on your behalf — including for claims other advisers prepared.
Do I need to visit an office in Penge?
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 Penge or anywhere else in South East London.
I searched "r&d claim near me" — is this service really local to Penge?
Penge 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 Penge town centre or the edge of South East London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my r&d claim?
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 Penge
From April 2026, self-employed people and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 move onto Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: digital records and quarterly updates to HMRC, not one annual return. The year before is the right time to get bookkeeping into shape.
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.
Timing disposals across tax years, using losses properly, and the spousal transfer rules can all legitimately reduce capital gains bills — but only before the sale. CGT planning after completion is just arithmetic.
VAT registration becomes compulsory once your taxable turnover in any rolling 12 months passes £90,000 — and "rolling" is the word that catches people, because it's not your accounting year. Businesses in Penge growing towards that line should be watching it monthly.
Status under IR35 turns on the reality of the engagement: control, substitution, mutuality of obligation. Contracts matter, but working practices matter more. A written status assessment for each engagement is cheap insurance.
If a return is late because HMRC asked for one you don't actually need, it can sometimes be withdrawn entirely — penalties included. And where there's a genuine reasonable excuse, appeals succeed more often than people expect. The wrong move is ignoring the letters.
Receipts win arguments. HMRC doesn't demand a shoebox of paper any more — photos in an app are fine — but every deduction needs evidence behind it. A ten-minute weekly habit beats a January archaeology dig, every time.
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 Penge clients who come to us in January still file on time; the records just need to arrive before the last week.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Penge, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
