The business base in Limavady
Limavady serves a large rural catchment between Derry and the Causeway coast — farming, food, some manufacturing, and a tourism trade that grows every year as the coast draws more visitors.
The farming and the tourism sit together more often than people expect. A good number of businesses here are a farm with something else attached, and keeping the two straight in the accounts is what makes either of them legible.
Getting to the Ballymena office
About an hour from Ballymena along the coast road.
Mostly remote, with visits when the land or the buildings are part of the conversation — which on farm and diversification work they usually are.
What we do for Limavady businesses
Farms with something else attached, which is most of them now, and the discipline of keeping the two apart.
- Farm accounts — herd basis, stock and support payments treated properly.
- Profit averaging — smoothing tax across uneven years.
- Diversification — holiday lets, glamping, contracting and solar — accounted for separately from the farm.
- Succession — passing land on, and the reliefs that make it work if planned early.
- Compliance — accounts, tax returns, VAT and payroll, on time.
Questions we get asked
We have started letting a cottage. Does that change our farm accounts?
It should. Diversification income belongs alongside the farm rather than inside it, because blending them hides whether either is actually working. It can also change the tax reliefs available on the land.
Can we average our farming profits?
Yes, and farming has averaging available because the years are uneven. It is one of the more valuable things a farm accountant does, and it depends on records kept during the year rather than reconstructed after it.
Does tourism income affect our agricultural reliefs?
It can. The more of the holding that is doing something other than farming, the more carefully the reliefs need looking at.
