Holiday Parks, Caravan & Lodge Parks

VAT remains the most complex area of park finance. We provide technical guidance on the nuances between standard-rated holiday pitches and exempt residential agreements, alongside the specific 5% reduced rate for eligible static unit sales. By ensuring your transactions are structured correctly from the outset, we mitigate the risk of HMRC disputes and protect your cash flow.

Parks are infrastructure-heavy businesses. We specialise in identifying "hidden" tax relief within your site’s development—from electrical hook-ups and drainage to the latest EV charging installations. We ensure that every pound spent on park upgrades, communal facilities, or environmental improvements (ESG) is leveraged to its maximum tax potential through Capital Allowances.

The April 2026 revaluation represents a fundamental shift in the rating system. We help you navigate the transition from temporary reliefs to the new, permanent Retail, Hospitality, and Leisure (RHL) multipliers. Our team provides forensic modelling to help you understand your new liability, ensuring your business is prepared for the 2026–2029 rating cycle.

With the National Living Wage continuing to rise and stricter rules around seasonal staff contracts, managing labour costs is a critical pressure point. We provide a professionally managed payroll service that ensures full compliance with employment law while helping you implement efficient staffing models that protect your margins during shoulder seasons.

As the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (2026) comes into force, park operators are now held to higher standards regarding guest and owner data protection. We provide Cyber Security Solutions that safeguard your booking systems and digital infrastructure. We help you move beyond basic compliance to true digital resilience, protecting your reputation and your revenue.

Modern park management requires real-time data, not historic accounts. Our Outsourced Virtual Finance Department integrates your park management software with cloud-based tools like Xero. This provides your leadership team with a daily view of pitch fee collection, sales pipelines, and departmental profitability, allowing for agile, data-led decision-making.

Expansion in the park sector requires significant capital and a robust business case. We support you in seeking the most appropriate funding solutions for site acquisitions or lodge developments. Our team acts as a professional bridge to commercial lenders, ensuring your debt is structured to align with the unique seasonal cash flow cycles of the industry.

A park is a significant asset, and your exit strategy should be as carefully planned as your development. Our Financial Planning team works alongside our accountants to help you extract profits tax-efficiently and manage your wealth outside the business. Whether you are planning a third-party sale or a family transition, we ensure your legacy is secure.
