Accountants in Oxford UK
Oxford is unlike any other city in the UK. Home to one of the world’s great universities, a booming biotech and life sciences cluster along the Oxford Science Park, a thriving independent retail scene on Cowley Road, and a rapidly expanding technology corridor stretching toward the M40 — Oxford’s businesses are diverse, ambitious, and face a uniquely complex tax landscape.
At Hayes Chartered Certified Accountantsand Tax Consultants, We understand that a university spin-out navigating R&D tax credits has very different needs from a Jericho landlord managing a buy-to-let portfolio, or a Summertown self-employed consultant filing a self-assessment for the first time. That’s why our Oxford accounting services are never one-size-fits-all — we build around you, your sector, your goals, and your budget.
Our fully qualified ACCA team brings decades of hands-on experience helping Oxford sole traders, contractors, startups, limited companies, landlords, and high-net-worth individuals stay compliant, cut unnecessary tax bills, and scale confidently. We use cloud-based accounting tools including Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent — keeping your finances organised and accessible anywhere in Oxfordshire, 24/7.
What We Do in Oxford
Whether you’re a sole trader in Headington or a limited company in Cowley Business Park, every accounting and tax need you have is covered by our Oxford team.
Filing your HMRC self-assessment doesn't have to be stressful. We calculate allowable expenses, claim every deduction you're entitled to, and maximise your refund — keeping you compliant and on the right side of HMRC year after year.
Annual accounts, corporation tax filing, and Companies House confirmation statements — we manage your Oxford limited company compliance completely, so you stay focused on growing your business without the paperwork headache.
MTD is now mandatory for most Oxford VAT-registered businesses. We set up your MTD-compliant software, manage your quarterly digital filings, and ensure you never miss a deadline or face an HMRC penalty.
We run your payroll accurately every pay period — calculating PAYE, National Insurance, pension auto-enrolment, and statutory payments. RTI submissions to HMRC handled on time, every single time.
Oxford's rental market is one of the UK's most active. Whether you own a single student HMO near the university or a portfolio of East Oxford buy-to-lets, we specialise in rental income tax, mortgage interest relief, and capital gains planning.
Oxford's science and tech sector is thriving. If your business invests in innovation, you may be entitled to significant HMRC R&D tax credits. We identify qualifying activity and prepare your claim — often worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Clean, real-time books are the foundation of every good business decision. Our bookkeeping service keeps your accounts accurate, your cash flow visible, and your monthly management reporting insightful.
Starting a new business in Oxford? We set up your limited company with Companies House, advise on the most tax-efficient structure, register you for PAYE and VAT, and get you trading fast — all at a clear fixed fee.
Selling a property, shares, or business in Oxford? CGT planning can make a significant difference to what you keep. We calculate your liability, identify available reliefs, and structure transactions tax-efficiently before completion.
Covering All of Oxfordshire
We don’t just serve the city centre. Our team covers every town, village, and business park across Oxfordshire — from the Vale of White Horse in the south to the Cherwell Valley in the north. Here’s how we serve each area:
Vale of White Horse · OX14
Abingdon-on-Thames is one of Britain’s oldest towns and today one of Oxfordshire’s most commercially active. Its business park along the A34 corridor hosts engineering firms, logistics companies, and professional services — all with distinct accounting needs.
Many Abingdon business owners work in neighbouring Oxford or Reading but base their companies locally — making accurate, proactive accounting critical. We offer fixed-fee packages covering self-assessment, VAT, payroll, and year-end accounts, all delivered with a personal touch.
West Oxfordshire · OX28
Witney’s blend of traditional market town charm and modern residential growth has created a thriving community of small business owners, independent tradespeople, and self-employed professionals. From retail and hospitality to the construction firms and landlords serving Witney’s expanding housing market — Hayes delivers the accounting support they need.
We specialise in CIS tax returns for Witney’s construction workers, annual accounts for small businesses, and self-assessment for the self-employed across the West Oxfordshire district. Cloud bookkeeping and MTD compliance all included.
South Oxfordshire · OX11
Didcot is the beating heart of the Science Vale — home to Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, one of Europe’s leading clusters for energy, space, and life sciences. Hayes brings specialist R&D tax credit knowledge combined with core accounting services for Didcot’s retail, logistics, and landlord communities.
North Oxfordshire · OX16
Banbury is Oxfordshire’s second-largest town — with major retail, manufacturing, and food-processing operations alongside a growing commuter population linked to Oxford and the Midlands via the M40. We cover limited company accounts, employment taxes, CIS for construction firms, and tailored tax planning for Banbury’s self-employed professionals.
Cherwell District · OX26
Bicester has transformed dramatically — Bicester Village has made it a premium retail destination, and rapid residential expansion has brought thousands of new businesses. Hayes supports Bicester’s entrepreneurs, hospitality owners, and self-employed workers with affordable, fully managed accounting packages at fixed monthly prices.
Cherwell District · OX5
Known as the UK’s largest village, Kidlington sits just north of Oxford city centre with a substantial community of self-employed professionals, small business owners, and landlords. Many residents work at Oxford Airport — one of the UK’s busiest general aviation hubs. Hayes serves Kidlington’s self-employed, limited company directors, and landlords with cloud-first, responsive accounting.

Yes — this is one of our specialisms. Oxford’s student rental market is one of the UK’s most active, and HMO landlord tax is genuinely complex. We advise on rental income tax, allowable expenses, mortgage interest relief, furnished holiday let rules, and CGT planning when you come to sell.
Completely. MTD is mandatory for VAT-registered businesses and is expanding to income tax. We set up your MTD-compliant software, migrate your records, submit your quarterly returns digitally, and keep you ahead of any HMRC changes — so you’re always compliant and never caught out.
