Accounting for the way Kilkenny does business
Kilkenny packs an unusual amount into a small county. The city carries a year-round tourism and hospitality trade built on the medieval quarter and a festival calendar that fills hotels, restaurants and bars well outside the summer. Around it sits a design and craft sector with a national reputation, where a lot of businesses are one or two people selling through a shop, a studio and an online store at the same time. The county is also serious dairy and tillage country feeding food processing, and the city has picked up a steady base of professional and shared-services employment.
Two questions come up again and again here. Makers and retailers want to know how VAT works once they sell online into other EU countries, and hospitality operators want the right rate applied across a menu that mixes food, drink and accommodation. Both are worth getting right from the start rather than correcting later.
Craft, design & makers
VAT on online and EU sales, stock and margin tracking, and accounts that cope with studio, shop and web income.
Hospitality, food & festivals
The right VAT rate across food, drink and rooms, seasonal payroll and cash-flow planning around event peaks.
Consultants & professional services
Fixed-fee bookkeeping, tax planning and cash-flow forecasts for client-based businesses.
Farms & food producers
Accounts and tax for dairy and tillage, including VAT reclaims, succession and capital taxes.
