The business base in Ballymoney
Ballymoney sits in strongly agricultural country, and the business base reflects it: farming, food processing, agricultural engineering and machinery, and the trades and services that support them.
Farm accounts are their own discipline. Herd basis elections, averaging of profits across good and bad years, capital allowances on machinery and buildings, diversification income, and the long-run question of how the farm passes to the next generation without an avoidable tax bill.

Profit averaging
Evening out taxable profits across good and bad years — frequently one of the largest savings available to a farm, and routinely under-claimed.
- 02
The herd basis
A time-limited election that treats a production herd as capital rather than stock, removing a lot of artificial profit movement.
- 03
Machinery and buildings
Capital allowances claimed properly, with purchase timing considered against your year end.
- 04
Diversification income
Holiday lets, contracting, renewables and farm shops each categorised correctly — for income tax, for VAT, and for the reliefs that matter on succession.
- 05
Succession planning
Agricultural and business property relief depend on how land is held and used years before any transfer. Starting early is what preserves the options.
Questions we get asked
Do you understand farm accounts specifically?
Yes — it's one of the sectors we see most in this part of the country. The things that matter are the herd basis, profit averaging, machinery capital allowances and getting diversification income treated correctly.
What is profit averaging and would it help me?
It lets farmers even out taxable profits across years, which matters because farming income swings hard and the tax system otherwise punishes a good year following bad ones. Whether it helps depends on your specific pattern of profits and the rates you'd be paying, so it's a calculation rather than a rule of thumb — but for many farms it's worth real money.
I'm thinking about succession — when should I start?
Earlier than most people do. Agricultural and business property reliefs are central to passing a farm on, and they depend on how the land is held and used well before any transfer happens.
