Accountant for Landscapers in Hull
CIS returns, self assessment, and tax planning for landscapers and groundworkers across Hull and East Yorkshire. Fixed monthly fees.
Tax Sorted for Landscapers and Groundworkers
Landscaping and groundwork straddles the line between construction and horticulture — and that creates tax complexity. Groundworkers on construction sites fall under CIS. Landscapers doing domestic garden work generally don't. Many businesses do both, which means getting the classification right is important.
We work with landscapers and groundworkers across Hull and East Yorkshire. We understand the specific costs of the trade — plant hire, fuel, materials, tools, van — and make sure every legitimate expense is claimed.
Whether you're a sole trader or running a landscaping company with a team, we provide fixed-fee accounting with no surprises.
Common Challenges We Solve
CIS vs Non-CIS Work
Groundwork on construction sites falls under CIS; domestic landscaping generally doesn't. We ensure you're correctly classified and compliant for each type of work.
Plant Hire and Equipment
Diggers, dumpers, and specialist equipment hire are all deductible. We ensure these costs are properly recorded and claimed.
Seasonal Cash Flow
Landscaping income can be seasonal. We provide cashflow forecasting to help you plan for quieter periods and tax payment dates.
VAT on Mixed Services
If you provide both CIS construction services and non-CIS landscaping, VAT treatment can be complex. We ensure you're applying the rules correctly.

Questions from Landscapers & Groundworkers
Does landscaping fall under CIS?+
It depends on the work. Groundwork on construction sites (foundations, drainage, earthworks) falls under CIS. Domestic garden landscaping generally doesn't. We'll advise based on your specific work pattern.
What expenses can landscapers claim?+
Plant hire, tools, materials, van, fuel, PPE, insurance, and training are all allowable business expenses.
How do I manage seasonal cash flow?+
We provide cashflow forecasting as part of our management accounts service — helping you anticipate quiet periods and plan for tax payment dates.
Should I go limited as a landscaper?+
Once your profit consistently exceeds £30,000–£35,000, a limited company typically saves meaningful tax. We'll model both options for you.
Do I need to register for VAT as a landscaper?+
Once your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, you must register. We monitor your threshold and handle registration and quarterly returns.
