UK Accounting Services for International Companies – Full Compliance Support

Introduction

Expanding into the United Kingdom presents international companies with significant growth opportunities—but also complex accounting, tax, and regulatory responsibilities. Whether you are launching a new branch, managing UK property investments, or establishing a holding company, access to reliable UK accounting services is essential for success.

At Fraser Bond, we support international clients with strategic real estate and business advisory services. Through our trusted network of chartered accountants, we ensure your UK operations remain financially compliant, tax-efficient, and investor-ready.

Why UK Accounting Services Are Essential for International Firms

1. Compliance with UK Financial Regulations

The UK has a robust regulatory framework that requires companies to:

• Maintain proper accounting records

• Submit annual financial statements to Companies House

• File corporation tax returns with HMRC

• Adhere to Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements for VAT-registered businesses

Failing to meet these obligations can result in fines, investigations, and reputational damage.

2. Tax Efficiency and International Structuring

Foreign companies often require accounting services that:

• Minimise double taxation

• Optimise group structures across jurisdictions

• Apply the right VAT treatment on cross-border transactions

• Handle transfer pricing and intercompany invoicing

An expert UK accountant helps navigate these complexities and protect your bottom line.

3. Real Estate Investment Accounting

For international investors in UK property, accounting services are vital to:

• Track rental income and expenses

• File Non-Resident Landlord (NRL) returns

• Calculate capital gains on disposals

• Manage Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED) if using corporate structures

Fraser Bond works closely with specialist accountants who understand the nuances of property taxation and investment structuring.
