Leeds ranks 48 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 87% is below the 89% average across them. In wholesale and retail (3,830 micro businesses in Leeds), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records. In construction (3,550 micro businesses in Leeds), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared.
