Every VAT return is handled accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions removal firm owners, man and van operators and storage facility managers ask about accounting.
How are removal vehicles treated for tax?
Vans and commercial vehicles qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance, giving 100% relief on purchase cost. Zero-emission vehicles attract first-year allowances. Running costs including fuel, insurance and repairs are deductible.
Is storage income treated differently for VAT?
Self-storage facilities are standard-rated for VAT. Storage provided as part of a removal service is also standard-rated. VAT registration is required once turnover exceeds £90,000 across all business activities combined.
How should subcontractor payments be handled?
Payments to subcontractors must be supported by proper invoices and recorded separately. Check employment status carefully as HMRC may challenge arrangements where control suggests an employment relationship.
What insurance costs are deductible?
Goods in transit, public liability, employer liability, fleet vehicle insurance and warehouse cover are all deductible. Insurance is a significant cost for removal firms and should be reviewed annually.
How is seasonal demand managed financially?
Removal businesses peak in summer and around key moving dates. Cash reserves and forecasting help cover quieter months. Spreading tax payments and managing vehicle costs across the year improves cashflow.
Can ABM support removal companies nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves removal companies across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to domestic movers, commercial firms and storage operators.
